(This is what happens when search actually works!!!)

I just learned this one today when I was looking up something about Creepshow 2:

Daryl Hannah has an actress sister named Page Hannah and an actor brother named Don Hannah.

Francis Ford Coppola > Talia Shire

I don't care if he's not an actor, it counts.

Only reason River Phoenix isn't as famous as his brother is because he died.

 

[Soundmanred]

Chris Farley (RIP) - Kevin & John Farley

 

[SSSnail]

Brad Pitt > Doug Pitt + Julie Pitt

You know, I never actually put two and two together and realized that Joaquin was Phoenix's brother until this thread. I might've read it somewhere before, but yeah, whoosh, completely missed it.

When River died nobody even knew Joaquin was alive.

Zooey got me soooo hot and bothered in Weeds. Big, big fan of hers. :thumbsup:

I think River would have been a superstar easily, he was most of the way there already. Easily outshining his surviving brother, Joaquin.

River/Joaquin Phoenix shouldn't be on that list. Maybe Rain or Summer should be on that list with Joaquin, but River would have been far bigger than Joaquin had he not decided drugs were so much fun.

 

[ElFenix]

francis ford coppola - nicholas cage (even if every other performance were the best ever, con air would still drag him down, and that's not including the crap fests of face/off and gone in 60 seconds)

 

[zinfamous]

it's Raef Fines. (or is raef another one of the brothers? oh yeah...I think he is, hehe.)

and Casey Affleck is a much better actor than Ben. Your'e right, he isn't as well-known, but he will likely surpass him.

 

[zinfamous]

wait...Peter Fonda? less well-known?

are you smoking crack? Have you not seen a movie made prior to 1995?

Yes, I was including the whole family in my opinion of their fame levels.

On topic:
Matt Dillon > Kevin Dillon

Ohh come on, without looking it up, could you spell his name correctly? Be honest.... It's some weird spelling.

I would at least spell it Juaqime. that's much closer.

I must say though, this list is full of fail. so many of those you name are pretty much equal in stature with their siblings. And well, River is only less well-known b/c he's dead. He was the "it" kid in town up until his death. For several years, Juaqim was known as "River's brother"

You should add Macauley Culkin--Kierin Culkin.

Though, the younger brother gets all the roles these days...

Morgan Freeman - Alfonso Freeman
I first heard him in Robot Chicken, doing a voiceover for "March of the Penguin," about The Penguin from Batman.

He also played a part in something called "The SharkTank Redemption."
