Ok, here are several different ways to look at this post, feel free to ad-lib as you please. What actors/actresses tried to live off the reputation of a similar name or a famous family member?

* Neil Connery (Sean's brother)
* Joe Estevez (Martin Sheen's brother)
* Angela Pleasence (Donald's daughter)

Those are just a few . . .
