Found out today Sam Lloyd (lawyer in Scrubs) is Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future)'s nephew. What are some other surprising and lesser known actor connections?

Ewan McGregor's (Obi-Wan in the Star Wars prequels) uncle Denis Lawson is one of the few lesser characters to be in all three of the original movies. He played Wedge Antilles.

McGregor says that he originally just went to watch Star Wars in the cinema with his brother to see their uncle. Then they were blown away by the movie itself.

maybe not lesser known but Nick Cage's real surname is Coppola. he's Francis Ford Coppola's nephew.

Arnold Schwarzeneggers son in law is Chris Pratt.

It took me a surprising amount of time to realize that John David Washington was Denzel Washington's son

Actor Tony Goldwyn is the grandson of the "G" in MGM.

Actor William Mapother Jr is Tom Cruise (Mapother)'s cousin.

Actress Rooney Mara decends from the Rooney family (founded the Pittsburgh Steelers) and Mara family (owned the New York Giants). Her sister is Kate Mara.

Jon Voight is Angelina Jolie's estranged father. They reconciled during the filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), but it didn't last long.

Some of the ones I remember, just because I'm old and involve some of my favorite movies.

Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life) is Drew Barrymore's Great Uncle.

Debbie Reynolds (Singin' in the Rain, God I love that movie) was Carrie Fisher's mom.

I think everyone knows Dakota Johnson's parents, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.

Shirley Maclaine (The Apartment and Two Mules for Sister Sara) is Warren Beatty's sister.

And some cool but not duo-celebrity relative facts.

Ewan McGregor's brother was a pilot in the RAF and his call sign was Obi-Two.

The awesome Bogart movie, To Have and Have Not ("Put your lips together and blow") was written by Hemingway and adapted into a screenplay by William Faulkner. Both considered in the top five of all time American authors. (Unless you think Steinbeck was better, then 6th (Which I don't)). Faulkner and Hemingway were not particularly fond of each other, but then I don't think there was a lot of love lost between Hemingway and his contemporaries.

Chris Pine (Star Trek, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves) is the son of Robert Pine (CHiPs 1977-1983, additional voices in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth)

Angelina Jolie's father is Jon Voight

Diane Ladd is Laura Dern’s mother…and in Wild at Heart they play as mother/daughter.

Also, (way more obvious) Bruce Dern is Laura Dern’s father irl

Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan's nephew and they share an uncle in John Nolan.

Rob Paulsen's son Ash Paulsen is one of the hosts of GameXplain.
