| 12 | ->''"When I started out, I was so focused on trying to do what seemed impossible, which was to get to be a movie director. And then I thought, well, if I could ever be successful at it, how I wish I could help my father achieve his dreams or my brother."'' |

| 15 | When two or more characters in a show are played by actors who have some form of real-life relationship, be it familial or romantic, off-screen. The relationship is likely to be replicated on-screen: the actual family resemblance between real-life blood relatives can go a long way toward convincing the audience that their characters are family, and love scenes may well be more convincing if the participants are married in real life (though this isn't guaranteed). Another use of this trope is flashback scenes, having the regular actor's child or sibling play a younger version of them, ensuring a level of resemblance. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | Can lead to some very interesting scenarios, including {{Actor Allusion}}s, or may lead to more RealitySubtext issues than the production was actually looking for. (In films, this element can often be played up by the promotional machine.) For a more Squick version, there is CastIncest, in which characters who are blood-related are played by actors who are in a romantic relationship. The even ''squickier'' inversion is IncestuousCasting, in which characters who are romantically connected are played by actors who are blood-related. It is also not unheard of for a couple to be on opposite sides of an on-screen divide, making for some interesting DatingCatwoman scenes. BandOfRelatives shows it's common for musicians. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Compare IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine, CoupleBomb, ActorAllusion, HistoricalCharactersFictionalRelative (where a fictional character is related in-universe to a real person) and RomanceOnTheSet (where actors start a real-life relationship after being cast as characters with an on-screen relationship). A RealLife SiblingTeam, a CreatorCouple, or someone in the FamilyBusiness will do this frequently. Contrast SeparatedAtBirthCasting, where two or more actors ''seem'' like they're related because they share many similarities, but in reality they aren't. |

| 33 | * In the classic [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLQ0LZSnJFE "Mikey" commercial]] for Life cereal, the three little boys are real brothers: John Gilchrist as Mikey and his older brothers Michael and Tommy Gilchrist. |
| 34 | * In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhgQ2LY1xxU this commercial,]] Creator/CharlieSheen is put through a series of steps in order to write a check. By the time they are done, [[TimeShiftedActor he has aged into]] his father Creator/MartinSheen. |
| 35 | * [[MilestoneCelebration To celebrate their 60th anniversary]], Creator/{{Sega}} introduced a new mascot: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jVV1hvg5a0 Sega Shiro]], the son of Advertising/SegataSanshiro. Sega Shiro is portrayed by Maito Fujioka, the eldest son of Segata Sanshiro's actor Creator/HiroshiFujioka. |

| 39 | * In the English dub of ''Anime/AKB0048'', the sisters Kanata and Sonata Shinonome are played by real-life sisters [[Creator/JulietSimmons Juliet]] and Creator/GenevieveSimmons. |
| 40 | * Creator/JillHarris broke news of her engagement to Creator/DallasReid [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-04-22/voice-actors-jill-harris-dallas-reid-announce-engagement/.145999 in April 2019.]] Fans of ''Manga/BlackClover'' likely got a kick out of this, given their roles as [[{{Tsundere}} Noelle]] and [[ObliviousToLove Asta]]. Ironically, in a later dub they worked on after tying the knot, ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'', their characters (Reid's Carlos Whitrow and Harris' Katie Aalto) have no scenes together. |
| 41 | * In the Latin American Spanish dub of ''Anime/BloodPlus'', the [[CainAndAbel antagonistic twins]] Saya and Diva are voiced by real-life sisters [[Creator/XochitlUgarte Xóchitl]] and [[Creator/GabyUgarte Gabriela Ugarte]], and their brother [[Creator/VictorUgarte Víctor]] plays Solomon Goldsmith, one of Diva's Chevaliers. |
| 42 | * In the English dub of the ''Anime/CardfightVanguard G'' anime, Chrono Shindou and Tokoha Anjou are voiced by Sam Duke and Emma Duke who are brother and sister. |
| 43 | * Though they were not in a relationship when working on the series, Creator/SteveBlum and Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn began dating in 2016, effectively mirroring their roles in ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' as Spike and Julia. Blum later announced their engagement in March 2018, referring to [=McGlynn=] as his fiancée during a post-series finale Q&A session for ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels''. |
| 44 | * The Mexican Spanish dub of the ''Manga/Cyborg009'' series has Jet/002 and Albert/004, who in-story are BashBrothers and part of a family-like TrueCompanions group, played by the real-life brothers [[Creator/LuisAlfonsoMendoza Luis Alfonso]] and Creator/RicardoMendoza. |
| 45 | * Voice actors Creator/AmandaWinnLee and Jason C. Lee are married, which makes their roles as the [[OutlawCouple Bonnie & Clyde-esque]] [[HeroicComedicSociopath protagonists]] of ''Anime/DeadLeaves'' amusing and Shigeru Aoba (Jason)'s [[spoiler:tanging]] scene at [[spoiler:the hands of Rei (Amanda)]] in ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion The End of Evangelion]]'' hilarious. |
| 46 | * In the English dub of ''Anime/DiGiCharatTheaterLeaveItToPiyokoPyo'' by Creator/SynchPoint, Dejiko and Rik are played by the married couple of Creator/JessicaGeeGeorge and Creator/GrantGeorge. |
| 47 | * When Brazil would broadcast unaired episodes of the original ''Manga/DragonBall'', the whole thing was redubbed. This amusingly led to Goku being Úrsula Bezerra as a child and her brother Creator/{{Wendel|Bezerra}} as an adult. (Wendel, who also voiced Goku in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' around roughly the same time, auditioned for the child version too, but was passed over.) |
| 48 | * Creator/WendelBezerra also voiced the final form of Father in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist: Brotherhood'', who in his original form was his brother Ulisses. |
| 49 | * Creator/TravisWillingham (Roy Mustang in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'') and Creator/LauraBailey (Lust) are married, which renders the violent confrontation between Mustang and Lust in Episode 19 of ''Brotherhood'' HilariousInHindsight. While they weren't married yet at the time, they were in a relationship, and they find this just as funny as the rest of us do. |
| 50 | * ''Manga/GrandBlue''[='s=] Iori Kitahara is voiced by Creator/YuumaUchida. Nanaka Kotegawa, Iori's surrogate CoolBigSis, is voiced by Yūma's older sister Creator/MaayaUchida. They also voiced Akatsuki and Suzuran in ''Literature/KakuriyoBedAndBreakfastForSpirits'', who are brother and sister. Humorously, Yūma's character (Akatsuki) is the the older sibling of the pair. |
| 51 | * In the Latin American Spanish dub of ''Manga/GunsmithCats'', the real-life couple Creator/HermanLopez and Norma Iturbe provide the voices for Roy Coleman and Becky Farrah, respectively. |
| 52 | * The English dub of ''Literature/{{Hensuki|AreYouWillingToFallInLoveWithAPervertAsLongAsShesACutie}}'' provides another retroactive example, as Creator/CliffordChapin and Creator/KristenMcGuire (the voices of Keiki Kiryū and Mao Nanjō respectively) [[https://twitter.com/kriscomics/status/1405880208918421510 would announce their engagement in June 2021.]] Rather sweet (and hilarious), considering [[CannotSpitItOut Mao hides her affection for Keiki]] and instead chooses to lend him a hand when he has to deal with the weirdness caused by his UnwantedHarem. |
| 53 | * In ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', [[ChivalrousPervert Issei Hyodo]] is an unabashed HaremSeeker and CuteBruiser [[DefrostingIceQueen Koneko]] [[LittleMissSnarker Toujou]] is one of the many members of his BattleHarem. (And, as revealed in the ''EX'' novel, [[spoiler:they're married in the future]].) In June of 2019, their voice actors Creator/YuukiKaji and Creator/AyanaTaketatsu announced on their Website/{{Twitter}} accounts that they tied the knot, leading to an influx of fan art depicting Issei and Koneko in wedding attire. Even Miyama-Zero, the illustrator for the light novels, [[https://twitter.com/miyama0/status/1142805193752363014 congratulated the couple in the same manner.]] |
| 54 | * ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' features Creator/MegumiHan (as the protagonist Gon) and her real-life mother Creator/KeikoHan (as Gon's aunt Mito). |
| 55 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 56 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'': In addition to being married to Creator/DorothyEliasFahn, Tom Fahn's real life brother Jonathan voices Wilson Philips. |
| 57 | ** ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStoneOcean Stone Ocean]]'': Anasui and Gwess, two characters who are [[{{Yandere}} psychotically obsessed]] with Jolyne, are voiced in English by Creator/HowardWang and Creator/AmberLeeConnors respectively, who are husband and wife. |
| 58 | * ''Manga/KagekiShoujo'' does this in both the Japanese and English language versions of the anime with the Sawada Twins, Chika and Chiaki. In Japanese, they're voiced by twin sisters Creator/{{Risae|Matsuda}} and Creator/SatsumiMatsuda, while in English, they're voiced by Creator/MonicaRial and her younger sister Creator/{{Natalie|Rial}}. |
| 59 | * In the English dub of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'', ex-couple Ko Ogino and Kyoko Otomo are voiced by real-life husband and wife Creator/MattShipman and Creator/BrittanyLauda. |
| 60 | ** ''Manga/SuperHxEros'', another Creator/{{Funimation}} dub from that same year (2020), would see the couple paired up as Retto Enjō and Kirara Hoshino, ChildhoodFriends with some friction between them [[CannotSpitItOut who are (initially) unable to be honest about their true feelings for one another]]. |
| 61 | * Creator/YujiUeda and Creator/OmiMinami, who are married in RealLife, were cast in ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' as Akito Tenkawa and Ruri Hoshino. Despite hints of a PrecociousCrush on Ruri's side, they're not a couple seeing as Ruri is a LittleMissSnarker and Akito's pretty much in his late teens; instead, he treats her more like a little sister [[spoiler:especially in the episode about her DarkAndTroubledPast]]. |
| 62 | ** This gets a bit more awkward in ''Manga/DokiDokiSchoolHours'' (''Sensei no Ojikan'') where they play teacher and student. |
| 63 | * Japanese voice actors Creator/KenichiSuzumura and Creator/MaayaSakamoto are married, which makes their playing Shinn Asuka and Lunamaria Hawke in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'' all the more interesting retroactively, considering the two characters end up in a relationship. They're also the voices of Haruhi and Hikaru from ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub,'' along with Shiki and Mikiya in ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners''. |
| 64 | * Also relating to ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny'', Creator/BrentMiller and Creator/NicoleBouma, the English voices of Sting Oakley and Meyrin Hawke, are married in real life. They would both return for the dub of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', where they would voice Andrei Smirnov and Nena Trinity. |
| 65 | * Disney's English dub of ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'' has Creator/DakotaFanning and Creator/ElleFanning play the Kusakabe sisters. |
| 66 | * The English dub of the original ''[[Manga/AhMyGoddess Oh My Goddess!]]'' OVA series cast Scott Simpson as Keiichi and Juliet Cesario as Belldandy. They were dating in real life at the time the show was being recorded, and that arguably helped with their vocal chemistry. |
| 67 | * ''Anime/OnePiece'': |
| 68 | ** From the Funimation dub, Creator/GregAyres, who voiced Sentomaru and Cabaji, is the younger brother of Creator/ChrisAyres, the voice of Johnny and Mr. 11. |
| 69 | ** Ryunosuke Yamaguchi (Ryunosuke) is the son of Usopp's voice actor Creator/KappeiYamaguchi. |
| 70 | ** From the Latin Spanish Netflix dub, Creator/AlejandroOrozco and his brother Luis Fernando voice Usopp and Hatchan, respectively, while their father Creator/JoseLuisOrozco voices Silvers Rayleigh and Toto. Likewise, Creator/RicardoMendoza voiced Pearl from the Krieg pirates, while his brother, the late Creator/LuisAlfonsoMendoza, voiced Higuma. |
| 71 | ** In the German dub, Sanji and Pudding, whose whole plotline is about being forcibly married, are voiced by real-life married couple Hubertus and Stefanie von Lerchenfeld. We also have Chopper's first and second voice actors, Florian and Martin Halm, who are brothers. |
| 72 | * [[Recap/PokemonGenerationsE7TheVision Episode 7]] of ''WebAnimation/PokemonGenerations'' features married couple Creator/LexLang and Creator/SandyFox as [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Team Magma Leader Maxie and Team Magma Admin Courtney]]. That the latter exhibits UndyingLoyalty toward the former and [[CuteAndPsycho doesn't quite have her head on straight]] can come across as both cute and [[BlackComedy comically disturbing]]. |
| 73 | * ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': |
| 74 | ** In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, May and Max were voiced by siblings Tatiane and Thiago Keplmair. |
| 75 | ** In the Hebrew dub, Ash was voiced by Yonatan Magon in Seasons 1-3, and by his younger brother Daniel since Season 4. |
| 76 | ** In the Czech dub, Radek Škvor was the voice of Ash until ''XY'', whereupon his older brother Jan took over the role. |
| 77 | * ''Anime/PowerpuffGirlsZ'' featured Creator/MattHill as the voice of Poochi for the first 37½ episodes. His nephew Simon took over the rest of the series. |
| 78 | * ''Anime/SaintSeiya'' has a lot of cases in the Brazilian dub: Athena was Letícia Quinto in the original; her daughter Bruna in ''[[Anime/SaintSeiyaLegendOfSanctuary Legend of the Sanctuary]]''; and stepsister Luciana Baroli in ''[[Manga/SaintSeiyaTheLostCanvas Lost Canvas]]'' -- where the mother of both, Rosa Maria Baroli, voiced the future Athena; ''Legend of the Sanctuary'' has Hiram Baroli voicing child Seiya, while his uncle Hermes (brother of Luciana, stepbrother of Letícia) is the grown-up one; and Kiki was Fátima Noya in the original show and her son Gabriel in ''[[Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega Omega]]''. |
| 79 | * The Latin American Spanish dub of ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'' has two cases: |
| 80 | ** Gerardo Alonso and Jahel Morga, the voice actors for Wolf Haruto and Aquila Yuna, are husband-and-wife. |
| 81 | ** The real-life brothers Luis Fernando and Creator/AlejandroOrozco play Max Brilliant Methone and Soul Killer Cyllene, respectively. |
| 82 | * Creator/{{Chris|Ayres}} and Creator/GregAyres. ''Anime/SpeedGrapher'', ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'', ''Manga/InitialD'', ''Anime/DragonBallZKai'', ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''... |
| 83 | ** Clearly done intentionally in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', where Chris plays Freeza and Greg plays his AlternateUniverse counterpart Frost. |
| 84 | * When ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' was released for the Brazilian region version of Creator/{{Netflix}}, the movie was redubbed with an almost completely [[TheOtherDarrin new cast]], but the original voice of Haku, Felipe Drummond, became the director for the new dub, and Haku was recast to Felipe's younger brother Eduardo. |
| 85 | * ''Anime/SSSSDynazenon'': Yomogi and Chise are voiced by real-life cousins Creator/JunyaEnoki and Creator/ChikaAnzai. |
| 86 | * In the English dub of ''Anime/WickedCity'', Gregory Snegoff and Alexandra Kenworthy, who are son and mother, play Taki and Mackie ([[IncestuousCasting who are lovers]]). |
| 87 | ** Also in the original 1989 Streamline dub of ''Anime/MyNeighborTotoro'', Snegoff voiced Tatsuo Kusakabe, while his (now late) wife Lisa Michelson voiced his daughter Satsuki. |
| 88 | * This was done on purpose in ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' with Yuto and Yugo, who are played by twin brothers Creator/ManpeiTakagi and Creator/ShinpeiTakagi respectively. The two are {{Identical Stranger}}s, so they're ''supposed'' to sound very similar. It's especially apparent when they're both yelling, as it's very difficult to discern which voice is whose. |
| 89 | * Occasionally happens in other Creator/FUNimation dubs. Jessica Dismuke played Yukina in ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'', while her brother Creator/{{Aaron|Dismuke}} played Shura, although the two never had a scene together. Meanwhile, their cousin Creator/JustinCook played Yusuke, who, [[TimeShiftedActor in a brief scene that showed him as a kid]], was voiced by Aaron. Creator/LindaYoung (Genkai) and Creator/JohnBurgmeier (Kurama) are also mother and son. |
| 90 | * In any cases an anime features a certain Creator/HonokaInoue, you can be assured that she will have a mother voiced by her own mother, none other than Creator/KikukoInoue. |

| 94 | * ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'': |
| 95 | ** In "An Earthly Child", Paul [=McGann=]'s real-life son Jake guest-stars as the Doctor's great-grandson Alex Campbell. |
| 96 | ** Wendy Padbury's daughter Charlie Hayes plays Jen, Zoe's interrogator in multiple ''Companion Chronicles'' audios. |
| 97 | * Creator/MarleneJobert writes children's books and there are audio adaptations of them. Jobert and her daughter Creator/EvaGreen voiced some of them together. |

| 104 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 105 | * The ''Franchise/{{Cars}}'' franchise stars renowned former UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} driver Richard Petty as the voice of Strip "The King" Weathers, an anthropomorphic version of Petty's aerodynamic 1970 Plymouth Superbird. In the first movie, Strip's wife is voiced by Richard's late wife Lynda, a station wagon that brought the Petty family to the races in the 1970s. In ''WesternAnimation/Cars3'', following Strip's retirement from racing, he has become crew chief to his nephew Cal, who is voiced by Richard Petty's son Kyle Petty. |

| 107 | * In the Icelandic dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' young Hercules was voiced by Ólafur Egilsson while his father, Egill Ólafsson, voiced Hades. |
| 108 | * In the first three ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'' films, Creator/AdamSandler voices Dracula. His wife Jackie voices Dracula's late wife Martha in a flashback. Their daughters, Sadie and Sunny, are also part of the cast. Sadie voiced a younger Mavis in the first film and played young werewolf Winnie throughout the films. Sunny voiced baby Dennis in the second movie and a baby werewolf with the same name in the third. |
| 109 | ** Creator/SelenaGomez's younger sister Victoria took on the role of younger Mavis in the fourth film. |
| 110 | * The Hindi dub of ''WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles1'' had father and son duo Creator/ShahRukhKhan and Aryan Khan dubbing Bob Parr/Mr. Incredible and Dash Parr. 15 years later, they would dub Mufasa and adult Simba in the remake of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing2019''. |
| 111 | ** The Brazilian dub of the first movie had aunt and nephew Márcia and Bernardo Coutinho as Helen Parr/Elastigirl and Dash Parr. Bernardo also debuted opposite father Marcelo Coutinho in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameII'', which even had them singing together as Zephyr and Quasimodo. |
| 112 | * In the first ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' film, Lee Millar, who voices Jim Dear, is the son of Verna Felton, who voices Aunt Sarah. |
| 113 | * Hesham Noor and Amani Shawqi are cousins in real life and they both dubbed adults Simba and Nala in the Egyptian Arabic dubs of ''Franchise/TheLionKing''. |
| 114 | * In the Latin American dub of ''WesternAnimation/TheLorax2012'', the Once-ler is voiced by Creator/ArturoMercado, while in the flashbacks, the young Once-ler is voiced by his son Creator/ArturoMercadoJr. |

| 120 | * The German dub of ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerryTheMovie'' has Robyn Starling and her father voiced by real-life daughter and father Susanne and Joachim Kaps. |

| 122 | ** Estefania Piedra voices Mei, while her cousin Jose Luis Piedra voices Tae Young. |
| 123 | ** Creator/LilianaBarba voices Aunt Lily, while her son Oliver Diaz voices Tyler. |

| 129 | ---- |
| 130 | * Music/{{ACDC}} had Stevie Young replacing his uncle Malcolm Young as a rhythm guitar twice, first in the 1988 ''Blow Up You Video'' tour as Malcolm went to rehab, and then before ''Rock or Bust'' in 2014, given Malcolm's dementia forced him into retirement. |
| 131 | * Music/AlienWeaponry's video for their song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kwIkF6LFDc "Kai Tangata"]] depicts a Maori raiding party both fighting another New Zealand tribe and performing a traditional ''haka''. These are actual Maori and mostly the band members' family members. |
| 132 | * Music/KateBush's album ''Aerial'' has the song "Bertie", written for her son Bertie. He also makes a few appearances in the second half of the album, first in the track "Prelude" as a child, and in the 2018 remastered versions of the "An Architect's Dream" and "The Painter's Link" as an adult (replacing [[{{Unperson}} disgraced guest musician Rolf Harris]]). |
| 133 | * Music/EricClapton wrote "Wonderful Tonight" based on a comment he made to his wife when she was taking too much time getting ready for a function. The song turns the comments on their heads and thus was born one of the all-time great romantic ballads. Also regarding Clapton, his smash hit "Layla" was an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove toward his close friend Music/GeorgeHarrison's then-wife Patti Boyd, who Clapton was infatuated with. They later got together, though the relationship didn't last. |
| 134 | * Music/DaveGrohl had his sister Lisa play bass in "How I Missed You", featured later as a Music/FooFighters B-side, and let his daughter Violet do backing vocals in a few 2019 Foo concerts and the 2021 album ''Medicine at Midnight''. After drummer Taylor Hawkins died, the tribute concert to him had Violet singing lead in a few songs, and Taylor's son Oliver filling in for him as the Foos played "My Hero". |

| 138 | * Music/LedZeppelin's reunion concert in 2007 famously had the drums taken by the late John Bonham's son Jason. |
| 139 | * When Music/{{Madonna}} performed "Material Girl" during The Virgin Tour, the performance ended with an actor posing as her father dragging her offstage. When the show came to Madonna's hometown of UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}}, she got her actual father to play the part. |
| 140 | * There's a whole family network of European SymphonicMetal and PowerMetal bands who often appear on the same bills. Music/{{Nightwish|Band}} keyboardist and composer Tuomas Holopainen is the second cousin of Music/LeavesEyes vocalist Elina Siirala. Nightwish vocalist Music/FloorJansen is married to Music/{{Sabaton}} drummer Hannes Van Dahl and is a former bandmate of Music/{{Epica}} cofounder Mark Jansen, whose ex-girlfriend Simone Simons sings in the band and is married to Music/{{Kamelot}} keyboardist Oliver Palotai.

| 142 | * Music/WithinTemptation frontwoman Sharon den Adel and studio guitarist Robert Westerholt are a long-term CreatorCouple. Robert's brother Martijn was also formerly in the band and founded Music/{{Delain}} after leaving due to health problems, and Sharon had a guest appearance on Delain's debut album ''Lucidity''. |
| 143 | * On Music/PinkFloyd's ''Music/TheWall'', Music/RogerWaters' son Harry voices young Pink at the beginning of 'Goodbye Blue Sky'. Harry would also be a part of his father's band since 2002. |

| 145 | * The late Minnie Ripperton wrote her one big hit "Loving You" for her daughter Maya, who she [[TearJerker never got to see grow up]]. Maya -- as in the comedic actress Creator/MayaRudolph -- grew up to become famous in her own right. |
| 146 | * [[VirtualCelebrity Animated band]] {{Savlonic}}'s members Evangeline and Roscoe are often portrayed as a romantic couple in their songs and videos. Their real-world performers Sarah Darling and Weebl are married. |
| 147 | * Music/RingoStarr and His All-Starr Band had for three years his son Zak Starkey, who is also a drummer. |

| 158 | * Husband-and-wife teams were remarkably common in MediaNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfRadio, probably due to the number of radio acts that originated on vaudeville where family acts were common. Notable husband-and-wife radio teams include: |
| 159 | ** Jim and Marion Jordan (''Radio/FibberMcGeeAndMolly'') |
| 160 | ** George Burns and Creator/GracieAllen |
| 161 | ** [[Radio/TheJackBennyProgram Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone]] |
| 162 | ** Goodman and Jane Ace (the Easy Aces) |
| 163 | ** Fred Allen and Portland Hoffa (Town Hall Tonight) |
| 164 | * ''Radio/JourneyIntoSpace'': |
| 165 | ** Bruce Beeby's wife Madi Hedd played Martha Bodie in ''The Red Planet''. |
| 166 | ** David Kossoff's brother Alan Keith (whose birth name was Alec Kossoff) played a London correspondent in ''Operation Luna''. |
| 167 | ** The writer Julian Simpson's wife Jana Carpenter played Edie Harper in ''The Host''. |
| 168 | * Ben Lyon and Bebe Daniels (''Radio/LifeWithTheLyons'') on Creator/TheBBC at the same period. |
| 169 | * In the 1990s, Jeremy Hardy and his then-wife Kit Hollerbach in ''Radio/UnnaturalActs'', later titled ''At Home With The Hardys'' in imitation of the above. |
| 170 | [[/folder]] |
| 171 | |
| 172 | [[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 173 | * Gamer and Meddler's players in ''Roleplay/WeAreAllPokemonTrainers'' are RL siblings, as are Joseph and Emma's. |
| 174 | [[/folder]] |
| 175 | |
| 176 | [[folder:Theatre]] |
| 177 | * Many high school musicals will use the younger siblings of cast members to fill children's parts, mostly because it cuts down on scheduling issues. If one child can make it to all of the rehearsals, chances are their sibling can as well. Of course, sometimes the younger child is very good in their own right, and may even have a substantially bigger part than their brother or sister. |
| 178 | * Adam Jacobs, who originated the role of ''Theatre/{{Aladdin}}'' on Broadway, was absolutely ''delighted'' when his sister Arielle was cast as Jasmine in the Australian production. She did end up making the move to play the role on Broadway, though for [[IncestuousCasting obvious reasons]] not until Adam left the production (he and the original Jasmine, Courtney Reed, left at the same time). |
| 179 | * One memorable production of ''Theatre/DonGiovanni'' cast identical twins as the title character and his manservant Leporello. Since there is a lengthy sequence in which Leporello disguises himself as the Don and fools everyone, this was a stroke of casting genius. |
| 180 | * In the 2005 Moon Troupe production of Creator/TakarazukaRevue's ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}'', sisters Ayaki Nao and Ayana Oto play Death and young Rudolf. This borders on CastIncest, because Death [[spoiler:pretends to be young Rudolf's friend, and successfully seduces/[[KissOfDeath kisses]] adult Rudolf, played by Oozora Yuuhi]]. Death and young Rudolf's scenes can be interpreted in light of their future selves' relationship. |
| 181 | [[/folder]] |
| 182 | |
| 183 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 184 | * ''VideoGame/BatmanTheTelltaleSeries'' is, among other things, about Bruce Wayne's attempt to get his friend Harvey Dent elected to Mayor, and Harvey is dating Selina Kyle, unaware that she is Catwoman and that Bruce is Batman. [[Creator/TravisWillingham Harvey Dent]] and [[Creator/LauraBailey Selina Kyle/Catwoman]]'s voice actors are also a married couple in real life, and [[Creator/TroyBaker Bruce's voice actor]] is Willingham's best friend, and was their Best Man at the wedding. |
| 185 | * ''VideoGame/BinaryDomain'': Dan Marshall and his eventual love interest Faye are voiced by Creator/TravisWillingham and Creator/LauraBailey. |
| 186 | * ''VideoGame/BlackMesa'': Mike Hillard provided voice work for all of the game's male scientists, while his mother Lurana Hillard voiced the female scientists. |
| 187 | * ''VideoGame/CaligulaOverdose'' has Creator/MiyukiSawashiro and her brother, Creator/ChiharuSawashiro, play the female and male protagonists of the game, respectively. As a result, some fans interpret the two of them as actually being related, despite there not being any canon relationship between the two. |
| 188 | * ''Franchise/CompilationOfFinalFantasyVII'': Creator/KenichiSuzumura and Creator/MaayaSakamoto's marriage also retroactively applies to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Zack Fair and Aerith Gainsborough]]. The ''Compilation'' shows how their relationship began with ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'' and confirms that the two are {{together in|Death}} {{the Lifestream}}, as seen in ''[[Anime/FinalFantasyVIIAdventChildren Advent Children]]''. |
| 189 | * ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'': An ironic example in the Polish dub. The actors for male [[PlayerCharacter V]] and [[GadgeteerGenius Judy]], Kamil Kula and Marta Żmuda Trzebiatowska, are a married couple. Despite Judy being a romance option, the two characters can never get together due to IncompatibleOrientation. |
| 190 | * ''VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution'': The voice actors for Adam Jensen and his girlfriend Megan Reed are real-life married couple Elias Toufexis and Michelle Boback. |
| 191 | * In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'', [[spoiler:Morrigan's son, Kieran, is voiced by Odin Black, who is the son of Creator/ClaudiaBlack, Morrigan's voice actress]]. |
| 192 | * In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder,'' the [[TheDividual dual character]] BrotherSisterTeam the Dioscuri are voiced by real-life siblings [[Creator/MaayaUchida Maaya]] and Creator/YumaUchida. |
| 193 | * ''Franchise/FireEmblem'': |
| 194 | ** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'', Creator/TaraPlatt is the LadyOfBlackMagic Miriel and one of her prospective husbands, the ChildMage Ricken, is voiced by Platt's husband Creator/YuriLowenthal. |
| 195 | ** The above mention of Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham also counts here, with Bailey voicing Lucina and Willingham voicing Lon'qu (her potential uncle or father-in-law, or ''both'' if he fathers Owain [[KissingCousins and Owain dates Lucina]]) and Brady (who can be either her close friend, younger brother [if Chrom marries Maribelle] or {{Love Interest|s}}). |
| 196 | ** Also from ''Awakening'', should either Stahl or Donnel (both voiced by Creator/SamRiegel) marry Nowi, they'll find that their KidFromTheFuture is as perfectly cast as can be; Nah is voiced by Creator/EdenRiegel, Sam's sister. (Eden also voices Sumia, but because of Sumia's limited pool of potential husbands, IncestuousCasting is not an issue.) |
| 197 | ** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'', Creator/MatthewMercer voices both the WarriorPrince Ryoma, the CulturedBadass Shigure, and the WhiteMage Azama. His real-life wife (then girlfriend) Creator/MarishaRay plays Ryoma's mother [[spoiler:(or better said, ParentalSubstitute)]] Queen Mikoto ([[spoiler:who is also Shigure's great-aunt]]), Ryoma ''and'' Azama's prospect love interest Oboro, '''and''' [[spoiler:Azama's GoldenPath-only possible lover Effie]]. |
| 198 | ** In the original Japanese version of ''VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors'', the siblings [[Creator/YuumaUchida Yuuma]] and Creator/MaayaUchida play the twins Rowan and Lianna. |
| 199 | * ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFightersXV'': |
| 200 | ** Chizuru Kagura is voiced by Creator/SayakaOhara, the older sister of Shun'ei's voice actor Takashi Ohara. |
| 201 | ** [[VideoGame/GarouMarkOfTheWolves B. Jenet]] is voiced by Creator/MikakoKomatsu, wife of Kyo Kusanagi's voice actor Creator/TomoakiMaeno. |
| 202 | * ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': |
| 203 | ** The Japanese release of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'' uses son and father Creator/AkioOtsuka and Creator/ChikaoOhtsuka for plot relevance; with Akio having voiced Xehanort in the entire ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series by that point, it was only natural to cast Chikao as [[spoiler:Master Xehanort, who commits GrandTheftMe on Terra at the end of Terra's scenario, effectively becoming present-day Xehanort. Apparently, Akio represents a younger Chikao]]. ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'' would then see [[spoiler:Akio taking up the role of the elder Master Xehanort in the stead of his late father]]. |
| 204 | ** In the German dubs of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games, Sora is voiced by Constantin von Jascheroff, the son of Mario von Jascheroff, who happens to be the German dub voice of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse, who appears in these games intermittently. |
| 205 | * ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'': From the Brazilian Portuguese version of the game, Fiona Laurent and Xayah are voiced by mother and daughter Creator/{{Marli|Bortoletto}} and Creator/LeticiaBortoletto, respectively. |
| 206 | * The ending in the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/{{Metal Gear Solid 4|GunsOfThePatriots}}'' featured Creator/AkioOtsuka as Solid Snake and Creator/ChikaoOhtsuka as [[spoiler:Snake's father Big Boss]]. This was intentional on Creator/HideoKojima's part: Both men were estranged and had a distant relationship before ''[=MGS4=]'' went into development, so Kojima cast Chikao as [[spoiler:[[TimeShiftedActor the older incarnation of Big Boss]]]] in order to help father and son reconnect. Just as [[spoiler:Big Boss gives a FinalFirstHug to his cloned son as he and Solid Snake make peace after being bitter enemies for years]], [[RealitySubtext so too were Chikao and Akio able to reconcile while recording their lines]]. |
| 207 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'', the game's [[DescendedCreator co-designers]], brothers Rand and Robyn Miller, play the brothers Sirrus and Achenar. Rand also plays their father Atrus, though [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8ew44ARMTw the Miller brothers' father Ron auditioned for the role.]] |
| 208 | * ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'': |
| 209 | ** ''VideoGame/Persona3'' has two cases. Both of the Velvet Room attendants (Elizabeth and Theodore) are voiced by the [[Creator/YuriLowenthal main]] [[Creator/LauraBailey protagonist's]] [[Creator/TaraPlatt wife]]/[[Creator/TravisWillingham husband]], with the Female Protagonist and Theodore combo in ''Portable'' likely being a CastingGag referencing this. [[ActingForTwo Mitsuru also shares a voice with Elizabeth]] and is a potential love interest for the Male Protagonist as well. Along with Ryoji ([[ActingForTwo who shares his voice with the male MC]]) hitting on her being extra-humorous. |
| 210 | ** In ''VideoGame/Persona4 [[UpdatedRerelease Golden]]'', siblings Creator/SamRiegel and Creator/EdenRiegel voice Teddie and Marie respectively. |
| 211 | * ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'': |
| 212 | ** Yukimura Sanada's voice actor, Creator/TakeshiKusao, is married to Naotora Ii's voice actress, Yuka Saitou. |
| 213 | ** Motochika Chousokabe's voice actor, Creator/RyotaroOkiayu, is married to Oichi's voice actress, Creator/AiMaeda. This is actually his second marriage after he divorced fellow voice actress Nao Nagasawa. |
| 214 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
| 215 | ** Corey Bringas voiced Tails in ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', but since he was too old to sound convincing in the role by ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', his younger brother Connor replaced him in the role. |
| 216 | ** In ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'', Espio, Charmy and Tails were voiced by Bill Corkery and his two children, Emily and William, respectively. |
| 217 | ** From 2010 to 2019, Creator/LauraBailey and Creator/TravisWillingham voiced Blaze the Cat and Knuckles the Echidna. |
| 218 | * ''VideoGame/SpiderManPS4'': |
| 219 | ** Another appearance of the husband-and-wife duo of Creator/YuriLowenthal and Creator/TaraPlatt, this time the pair taking on the roles of the titular web-slinger and Capt. Yuri Watanabe. |
| 220 | ** Also once again, Creator/LauraBailey and Creator/TravisWillingham portraying Mary Jane Watson and The Kingpin respectively. |
| 221 | * Starting with [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIV the "fourth" entry]] in 2008[[note]]''Street Fighter IV'', while the fourth {{Numbered Sequel|s}}, is actually the ''sixth'' subseries if one includes ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Alpha]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterEX EX]]''[[/note]], and up until 2023's ''VideoGame/StreetFighter6'', ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' (and [[VideoGame/CapcomVs its related spin-offs]]) featured the husband-and-wife team of Creator/TravisWillingham and Creator/LauraBailey as Guile and Chun-Li, respectively. (Noticing a trend here with these two?) |
| 222 | * Creator/KenichiSuzumura and Creator/MaayaSakamoto were married during the development of ''VideoGame/{{Super Robot Wars Z}}2: Saisei-hen''. In ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsUX'', [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Shinn and Lunamaria]] (see the Anime & Manga section above) get an exclusive CombinationAttack. |
| 223 | * An interesting example in ''VideoGame/TalesOfLuminaria'', both the mobile game and [[TheAnimeOfTheGame its anime adaptation]], ''The Fateful Crossroad''. In the dub, Lucien Dufaure is voiced by two different [=VAs=], [[TimeShiftedActor one for his child self and one for his adult self]]. It just so happened that these [=VAs=] would be Creator/ApphiaYu and Creator/MicahSolusod, who are married. |
| 224 | * In the ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi'' series, Gracia and Sima Yi are respectively voiced by real-life married couple Jun Shikano and the late Tsuyoshi Takishita, which makes the scenes they share both very heartwarming and hilarious. There is a scene in ''Warriors Orochi 3: Ultimate'' (released after Takishita's death) where Gracia talks about Sima Yi in an unusually melancholic way, which many fans have interpreted to be a tribute from Shikano to Takishita. |
| 225 | [[/folder]] |
| 226 | |
| 227 | [[folder:Web Video]] |
| 228 | * ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'': [[Creator/LewisLovhaug Linkara]] does this a lot -- not surprising since as an Internet reviewer he can't exactly afford to hire people on a regular basis. Thus far, he's utilized his parents, brother, former girlfriend, and fiancée at various points. (As examples: his father as an older version of him; his mother as a Starfleet commander; and his [[WebVideo/IdolsOfAnime fiancée]] and [[WebVideo/IronLiz former girlfriend]] as... themselves, more or less.) |
| 229 | * ''WebVideo/EconomyWatch'': Cousins Nico and Will Davis portray cousins Dennis and Tom Smith in the show, respectively. |
| 230 | * ''WebAnimation/{{Eddsworld}}'': |
| 231 | ** Edd's DistaffCounterpart Ell is voiced by Vicky Gould, sister of the late series creator Edd Gould. |
| 232 | ** In 2020, Edd's brother George Gould took over the role of Edd himself. |
| 233 | * Scott [=McClure=], the aspiring filmmaker behind ''WebVideo/TheJokerBlogs'', also uses this, probably for the same reasons as Linkara. |
| 234 | * Creator/BradJones had featured his first wife Jillian in his shows, and now does so with his current one Laura, who even starred in his movie ''Disco''. |
| 235 | * While WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick and WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows both had their own web shows when they began dating, they started a RunningGag/subplot in both their shows, in which the Chick is terrifyingly obsessed with hooking up with Todd while he is callously indifferent to her. A similar joke was used in the massive review for the ''Les Miserables'' musical movie, in which Elise and Paw (who were engaged, and eventually married, in real life) fall in LoveAtFirstSight and become SickeninglySweethearts as a result. |
| 236 | * Siblings Sean and Sinead Persaud are co-stars and writing and producing partners as half of WebVideo/ShipwreckedComedy. |
| 237 | * ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'': Spoony has occasionally had his brother appear on his show. Things are sadly averted in the case of his then-girlfriend Scarlett, who made one appearance in a now-removed video. His FanDumb mocked her so much that he replaced the video with an article calling them out on it and never put her in another video again (though she was the webmistress of his site). His later girlfriend April has appeared in videos without the same issues. |
| 238 | * Creator/DougWalker's brother is The Other Guy (Rob Walker), who mostly works behind the camera, but does appear on-screen as various characters on occasion, most notably as Santa Christ. Their father (who also does most of the show's original music) also had cameo appearances in ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' (News anchor Larry Prince and father of Doug's character Lori) and ''WebVideo/ToBoldlyFlee'', as well as the review of the movie ''Film/{{Devil}}''. His mom also appeared at the end of his review of ''WesternAnimation/TheChristmasTree''. |
| 239 | [[/folder]] |
| 240 | |
| 241 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 242 | * ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': |
| 243 | ** Marceline's father is voiced by her voice actor's (Olivia Olson) real father (Martin Olson). |
| 244 | ** The voices of the younger Marceline and Bubblegum, Ava and Isabella Acres, are sisters. |
| 245 | * ''Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'': |
| 246 | ** Since reviving the franchise after his father's death, Ross Bagdasarian Jr. has voiced Dave Seville, as well as Alvin and Simon, while his wife Janice Karman voices Theodore and the Chipettes. Later, their kids Vanessa and Michael got involved, with the former voicing the Chipette Eleanor in [[WesternAnimation/ALVINNNAndTheChipmunks the 2015 series]]. |
| 247 | ** In the first Italian dub of the 1983 series, which covered the Ruby-Spears episodes, Vittorio Stagni (Dave Seville) is the real-life father of Creator/IlariaStagni (Alvin Seville since Season 2). Likewise, Barbara de Bortoli (Brittany Miller since Season 2) is the real-life sister of Creator/FedericaDeBortoli (Eleanor Miller). |
| 248 | * On ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', Creator/RachaelMacFarlane, voice actor for Stan's daughter Hayley, is the sister of series co-creator and voice actor for Stan and Roger, Creator/SethMacFarlane. |
| 249 | ** She's also done a number of additional voices on ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', including Stewie's love interest Olivia ([[IncestuousCasting Stewie is voiced by Seth]]). |
| 250 | * In ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', Malory Archer's husband Ron Cadillac (introduced in Season 4) is voiced by actor Creator/RonLeibman, who was married to Malory's actress Creator/JessicaWalter in real life. The humor is compounded with a touch of IronyAsSheIsCast: while Malory and Ron appear to have had a rush wedding within a few weeks of meeting, and are usually portrayed as woefully mismatched, Walter and Leibman were happily married for over three decades. |
| 251 | * There a few examples in ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': |
| 252 | ** In the episode "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderImprisoned Imprisoned]]", Haru's mother is voiced by Pat Musick, the mother of Creator/MaeWhitman, Katara's voice actress. |
| 253 | ** In the episode "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]]", the Zuko actor is voiced by Derek Basco, the older brother of the real Zuko's voice actor, Creator/DanteBasco. |
| 254 | ** In the SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', the [[AMinorKidroduction young Korra]] seen in the first episode is voiced by Cora Baker, the daughter of Creator/DeeBradleyBaker, a principle voice actor in the franchise. |
| 255 | * On ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'', Black Widow and Thor are voiced by Creator/LauraBailey and Creator/TravisWillingham, who are married in real life. They've been in two other Disney shows together, those being ''WesternAnimation/MarvelsSpiderMan'' (with the former as Gwen Stacy, Crimson Dynamo, and again Black Widow, and the latter as Sandman) and ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst'' (with the former as Stephanie and the latter as King Roland). |
| 256 | * Creator/NickOfferman is the voice of ''WesternAnimation/AxeCop'' and his wife Creator/MeganMullally voices most of the female characters in the show. |
| 257 | * Music/AliciaKeys and her niece played a mommy and baby Martian in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheBackyardigans''. |
| 258 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'': |
| 259 | ** Creator/DarylSabara's brother, Evan, voiced Robin in the show. Two episodes had Daryl himself guest-star: [[Recap/TheBatmanS4E9RiddlersRevenge "Riddler's Revenge"]] has him as one of Dick's classmates and [[Recap/TheBatmanS5E10TheEndOfTheBatman "The End of the Batman"]] had Daryl as Dick's EvilCounterpart Scorn. |
| 260 | ** Hector Indriago, the Latin Spanish voice of Batman in this series [[RoleReprise and several others]], is the nephew of Frank Maneiro, who, in addition to voicing Mayor Marion Grange, was previously the voice of Batman in the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. |
| 261 | * In the second to last scene of the episode "The Knights of Tomorrow!" from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', the future Batman Damian Wayne is voiced by Creator/DiedrichBader (who voiced the current Batman) and his son Robin is voiced by Sebastian Bader (Diedrich's real son). |
| 262 | * ''WesternAnimation/Ben10'': |
| 263 | ** The ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'' episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" introduces viewers to Ben and Gwen's grandmother Verdona, an [[EnergyBeings Anodite]]. For her elderly disguise, Verdona is voiced by [[Series/MissionImpossible Barbara Bain]]. In her true Anodite form and the flashback to Verdona's first meeting with Grandpa Max in [[WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien "Moonstuck,"]] her daughter Creator/JulietLandau assumes the role. As such, Landau could be thought of as a younger representation of her mother (or Bain could be thought of as an older representation of her daughter. [[TakeAThirdOption Or both]]). |
| 264 | ** In ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Omniverse]]'', [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Ester]] is voiced by Creator/YuriLowenthal's wife Creator/TaraPlatt. The [[ShipTease mutual interest]] between the two led to the Ben/Ester pairing becoming a FanPreferredCouple just after Ester's first appearance, with Ester herself becoming an overnight EnsembleDarkhorse. |
| 265 | * On ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'', the Pesto Twins are voiced by sisters Creator/{{Sarah|Silverman}} and Creator/LauraSilverman. |
| 266 | * ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'': In flashbacks, Creator/DavidSedaris voices the mother of his sister Creator/AmySedaris' character, Princess Carolyn. |
| 267 | * The boy and his little sister from ''WesternAnimation/BumpInTheNight'' were played by real-life siblings Scott and Anndi [=McAfee=]. |
| 268 | * In the Latin-American Spanish dub of ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'', Daria and Quinn's parents Helen and Jake were dubbed by real-life spouses Creator/RocioGarcel and Jorge Roig Sr. [[note]]Though Helen would later be dubbed by [[Creator/MonicaManjarrez Mónica Manjarrez]] instead.[[/note]] |
| 269 | * In ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'', Dave's [[DatingCatwoman sometimes girlfriend]] Princess Irmoplotz and her mother Queen Zonthara are voiced by Melissa Rivers and Creator/JoanRivers, respectively. This pair of characters was created specifically to allow this mother/daughter casting. |
| 270 | * On ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'', Tiny is voiced by Creator/ClaireCorlett while her father Creator/IanJamesCorlett voices the conductor. The original voice for Tiny's brother Buddy was her real-life brother Philip. |
| 271 | * On ''WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist'', Laura Silverman and H. Jon Benjamin (respectively, surly secretary Laura and Ben, the 24-year-old slacker son of Dr. Katz who repeatedly and unsuccessfully asks out Laura) were dating when the show started but broke up during the middle of the show's run. |
| 272 | * ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': |
| 273 | ** Doofus Drake's parents are voiced by Creator/YuriLowenthal and Creator/TaraPlatt, who are married in real life. |
| 274 | ** In the Latin American dub, Alicia Velez, who plays Lena, is the daughter of Cony Madera, who plays Mrs. Beakley. |

| 279 | * ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'': Xu Lin from "The Lotus Temple" is voiced by Ashlie Chan, sister of Jade Chan's voice actress Stacie Chan. (They are of no relation to the real life Creator/JackieChan, however.) |
| 280 | * ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' has Shazam/Billy Batson voiced by Creator/SeanAstin while his father Creator/JohnAstin voices his Uncle Dudley. |
| 281 | * In the Flemish version of the animated series ''WesternAnimation/LesSisters'', Wendy and Marine are voiced by two actual sisters, Marlies and Evelien Bosmans. Ironically, the younger sister voices Wendy,[[note]]the eldest of the two[[/note]] while the older sister voices Marine.[[note]]the youngest of the two[[/note]] |
| 282 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfVoxMachina'' has Creator/TravisWillingham and Creator/LauraBailey, the respective VA[=s=] for Grog and Vex, and a married couple in real life; as well as Creator/MarishaRay and Creator/MatthewMercer, another married couple, as Keyleth and Sylas ''et al.'', respectively. The first episode also features the two children from the Shalesteps voiced by Zoe O'Brien, daughter of Creator/LiamOBrien (Vax); and Maximus Riegel, son of Creator/SamRiegel (Scanlan). |
| 283 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' has a few examples: |

| 301 | * Happened a few times in the early ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' specials. |
| 302 | ** In ''WesternAnimation/ACharlieBrownChristmas'', Karen Mendelson (voice of Patty[[note]]Not Peppermint Patty; the special was made before she was introduced.[[/note]]) was the daughter of producer Lee Mendelson. She voiced Violet in the next special (''Charlie Brown's All-Stars'') while her brother Glenn voiced Schroeder in that and a few others. Their sister Lynda went onto voice Frieda in the early 70s. |
| 303 | ** Also Lisa [=DeFaria=] voiced Patty in ''Great Pumpkin'' and a few others, while her sister Gail voiced Pig-Pen and later went on to be the original voice of Peppermint Patty. Their brother Christopher also voiced both roles after Gail's voice changed. |
