Here are some of my favorite bad actors who probably only get (or got) work because they are (or were) related to someone famous:

* Jason Connery
* Joe Estevez
* Chris Mitchum
* Jim Mitchum
* Patrick Wayne
* John Ethan Wayne
* Desi Arnaz, Jr.
* Luci Arnaz

Let's compile a comprehensive list of these "less talented than their famous relatives" celebrities.

Kevin Farley. But I do think he's pretty funny.

Nicolas Cage in some ways since he's Francis Coppola. Even though he tries to cover that up i'm sure it helped him.

Clint Howard?

I wouldn't say Clint Howard is necessarily a bad actor, but he has gotten most of his respectable gigs from Ron.

I'm thinking Jim Belushi. He's a decent comedic actor (at least he was for a while in the 80s), but is he as good as brother John was? No. Would he have come so far without the family connection? I doubt it.

Frank Stallone definitely strikes a chord for me. The 80s web feed I have playing in the shop usually has "Far from Over" about once a day. Frank's a double threat, having ridden Sly's coattails into two different areas of entertainment.

Tahnee Welch?
Don Swayze?

Keifer Sutherland maybe?
Amanda Plummer?

(granted those last two are more arguable ones)

Don Swayze shouldn't count, there is no star or talent in this family anywere!
Kiefer Sutherland is in my oppinion not a bad actor. O.K., he's not great and he was in bad movies, but at least he's not bad.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
