Colin Hanks should thank his lucky stars for getting his father’s acting genes. His famous dad is Oscar award winner Tom, and her mother is actress Samantha Lewes. Even without the help of his father, though his last name certainly helped, Colin has appeared in a slew of roles since 1996.
His first television debut was on the sci-fi series, “Roswell.” Looking a tad similar to his dad, Colin is not just into acting. He directed “All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records” back in 2015. He also did voice acting in the animated series, “PAW Patrol.”
Danny DeVito’s daughter: Lucy DeVito
Lucy decided to pursue the same career her parents pursued and is now slowly but surely following in their footsteps. Her father is Danny DeVito while her mother is Rhea Perlman. She can now be seen in a recurring role on the series, "Melissa & Joey." Besides television, she appeared as Anne Frank on Washington’s Intiman theatre stage back in 2008.
Growing up, similar to other kids of celebrities, she appeared along with her father on-screen. She was in Danny DeVito’s hit show, "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia." Standing at five feet – the same height as her daddy – Lucy’s other films include "Leaves of Grass" and "Sleepwalk With Me."
Alec Baldwin’s daughter: Ireland Baldwin
Ireland Baldwin’s father is infamous hothead Alec Baldwin, while her mother is actress, and model Kim Basinger. She seems to be following in her mother’s footsteps though as she is currently working as a model under IMG Models. She made her debut in 2013 via a swimwear ad in the New York Post – an editorial her father wasn’t pleased about.
For her acting debut, Ireland portrayed a young Kim Basinger in the movie "Grudge Match." But modeling is more her cup of tea as she has been featured in a slew of editorials on "Vanity Fair," "W Magazine," and "Elle." On television, she was in the made-for-TV movie "Campus Caller."
Meryl Streep’s daughter: Mamie Gummer
Mamie Gummer has some big shoes to fill. She is the daughter of multi-award-winning actress Meryl Streep. Her father is Don Gummer. It makes sense that she uses her father’s last name as the pressure of being Streep could be immense. Similar to other celebrity kids, Mamie appeared alongside her actress mother in the 1986 movie, "Heartburn."
She once again appeared on-screen with her mother in the 2015 movie "Ricki and the Flash." Besides movies, Gummer has also appeared on television via the series "The Good Wife," "The Collection," and "Emily Owens M.D." Though once married to actor Benjamin Walker, Gummer is now amicably separated.
Michael Douglas’ son: Cameron Douglas
Cameron similarly has some big shoes to fill, two pairs specifically. His father is actor Michael Douglas. His grandfather is legendary actor Kirk Douglas. Similar to his dad and grandpa, Cameron has decided to pursue acting. He has been seen in four movies, namely, "It Runs In The Family," "Mr. Nice Guy," "Loaded," and "National Lampoon’s Adam & Eve."
Could the pressure of being a Douglas have gotten into him? Cameron has reportedly been found guilty of multiple offenses. He is required to serve seven years in prison. Two of those years were him spending time in solitary confinement. He is currently writing a book to document his prison experience.
