Less-talented relatives

Upvote for Don Swayze.  Dad and I were at the video store some years ago (when such things still existed) and I grabbed a movie that had 'Swayze' on the cover.  It turned out to be the awful DEATH RING (1992). Dad looked at me and said, 'look carefully. It just says Swayze, not Patrick Swayze'.  It's a testament to how bad the movie was, that I can't remember anything about it apart from the cover.

Really! Someone hit the trifecta. Not only do we have the less talented Don Swayze, but we also have the less talented Mike Norris, son of Chuck Norris, and the less talented Chad McQueen, son of Steve McQueen.

Must suck to be related to a stasr.  You get all the sh-t and none of the sugar of being famous.

Hahaha, you're absolutely right, I hadn't even thought of that! Notice how they use only their surnames in the box art, as if to say, 'look, we've got Patrick, Chuck and Steve here!'

Another is Michael Stone, brother of Sharon Stone. Years ago, there was an article on him in Hello or OK magazine, in which he talked about his life, and his upcoming role in an Arnie movie. He said that he'd spent two years in prison, where he 'mastered martial arts'.  The article made it sound like he had a co-starring role in the movie, which turned out to be Eraser.  In fact, Michael is a non-speaking member of the raid team that Arnie takes out in the darkened kitchen of his house.
