Famous actors with less than famous sibling/direct relatives in the business...

[ThePresence]

I am a huge John Cusack fan, and Joan is quite famous in her own right.

I know many of you will disagree because of 24, and he certainly is more famous these days because of that show, but I never liked Keifer and still think his father is a better actor.

Good one, I always forget about them!

I don't mind Keifer at all, but I'd definitely agree Donald will be more recognizable to many people. Hell, he still acts to this day, and has been in WAY more acting roles than his son. That shouldn't even be debatable.

Kirk Douglas - Michael Douglas?

Agreed. :thumbsup: Donald Sutherland has a far greater body of work.

He definitely > Keifer.

And he's (Donald) a MUCH better actor. Keifer always looks uninterested to me.

Keifer, I think... is always going to be kind of a one-trick pony. I like him in 24, he has that 'agent' characteristic to his acting. Plus it's a TV show, sometimes hard to judge because even great actors can act like shit when it's an incompetent director running the show.
But I definitely agree that Donald is a superior actor. I've actually really liked Donald, but for the longest time never knew there was a relation. Actually I had really never known his name was Donald Sutherland. I would have made the connection earlier had I known. When I saw his face attached to a name somewhere on tv, I was like... wai.... is there relation? And my mom went 'yep', and my mind was blown temporarily.

Are you smoking chinese opium? Bruce was an icon who transcended barriers that weren't even there to transcend anymore once Brandon was running around. Bruce was more than a great martial artist and actor - he was a *genius* martial artist and cultural lightning rod.

 

[m1ldslide1]

Oh, and also there's:
Gwyneth Paltrow > Bruce Paltrow

Bruce Paltrow directed "Duets" and maybe some other stuff. Don't feel like navigating to imdb.

Well, it's a pointless debate since Brandon is dead now isn't it?

You have your opiates, and I have mine. :beer:

Edit-Brandon Lee was young (28), good looking, talented and living/acting in Los Angeles when he was killed. He had a lot of potential.

BTW-The Crow is one of my many favorite movies.
