* Creator/JuddApatow often casts [[Creator/LeslieMann his wife]] and daughters Creator/{{Maude|Apatow}} and Iris in his films, such as ''Film/KnockedUp'', ''Film/FunnyPeople'' and ''Film/ThisIs40''. His justification for using his own kids is that he doesn't like child actors and would rather not have to work with them.
* Creator/KateBeckinsale's daughter Lily Mo Sheen has portrayed a child version of her (Kate) in the ''Film/UnderworldEvolution'' and ''Film/EverybodysFine''.
** Lily also had a small part in ''Film/{{Click}}''.
* Creator/MonicaBellucci and Creator/VincentCassel were married and have appeared as a couple in ''Film/LAppartement'', ''Film/{{Dobermann}}'' and ''Film/{{Irreversible}}''. Bellucci also has a cameo unconnected to Cassel's character in ''Film/{{Sheitan}}''.
* All of the (many) movies that have starred real-life husband and wife Richard Benjamin and Paula Prentiss.
* Creator/HumphreyBogart and wife Creator/LaurenBacall starred in three movies as a couple after their RomanceOnTheSet in ''Film/ToHaveAndHaveNot'': ''Film/TheBigSleep'', ''Film/DarkPassage'' and ''Film/KeyLargo''.

* Creator/KennethBranagh and Creator/EmmaThompson, then husband and wife, played Benedick and Beatrice in Branagh's ''Film/MuchAdoAboutNothing1993''.
** They also played Roman and Margaret in ''Film/DeadAgain'' and Henry V and Katherine in ''Henry V''. And [[http://www.imdb.com/search/title?roles=nm0000110%2Cnm0000668 a couple of other things.]]
* Creator/LloydBridges and son Creator/JeffBridges in ''Film/BlownAway''.
** And brothers Jeff and Creator/BeauBridges in ''Film/TheFabulousBakerBoys''
* Creator/TimBurton often casts his real-life girlfriends (first Lisa Marie and then Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter) with the latter getting the more meatier parts than the former as Bonham Carter was already a well-respected Academy Award-nominated actress before she and Burton hooked up.
* Creator/JakeBusey and father Creator/GaryBusey star together in ''Film/StraightTime''.
** Jake Busey is also in ''Film/ThePredator''--as the son of his father's character in ''Film/Predator2'', Peter Keyes.
* Creator/FrancisFordCoppola is known for doing this in general. He hired his father Carmine to do the score for ''Film/TheGodfather''. He cast his sister Creator/TaliaShire to play Connie Corleone in the movies. And in the third movie, his daughter Creator/SofiaCoppola was cast as Mary Corleone after Creator/WinonaRyder became unavailable. He's also cast his nephew Creator/NicolasCage in ''Film/RumbleFish'', ''Film/TheCottonClub'' and ''Film/PeggySueGotMarried''. He has yet to work with his nephew Creator/JasonSchwartzman (Shire's son).
** Speaking of ''Film/TheCottonClub'', estranged tap dancing brothers Sandman and Clay Williams were portrayed by real-life brothers Gregory and Maurice Hines.
* Real-life husband and wife Creator/HumeCronyn and Creator/JessicaTandy starred as husband and wife in several movies: Joe and Alma Finley in ''Film/{{Cocoon}}'' and ''Cocoon 2: The Return'', Frank and Faye Riley in ''Film/{{batteriesnotincluded}}'', and the Roeders in ''Film/TheSeventhCross''.
* Then-couple Creator/TomCruise and Creator/NicoleKidman in ''Film/EyesWideShut''. Apparently, director Creator/StanleyKubrick wanted a real couple for the scenes together. (He had thought about a different famous actor couple before; Creator/AlecBaldwin and Creator/KimBasinger.) We all know how ''that'' ended up.
** Tom and Nicole also starred in ''Film/DaysOfThunder'' and ''Film/FarAndAway'' as a couple.
* Some examples from movies starring Creator/MacaulayCulkin which feature his siblings:
** ''Film/HomeAlone'': Creator/KieranCulkin plays Kevin's cousin Fuller.
** ''Film/TheGoodSon'': Quinn and Rory Culkin appear as Henry's siblings Connie and Richard, whom [[spoiler:Henry murders before the events of the film]].
** ''Film/RichieRich'': Rory plays the [[TimeshiftedActor younger Richie]].
* Siblings [[Creator/JohnCusack John]] and Creator/JoanCusack frequently appear together. In ''Film/SayAnything'' and ''Film/MartianChild'' they played siblings. In ''Film/HighFidelity'', they play siblings yet again, and their real-life mother appears as the mother of their characters.
** Since you have Susie, Joan, Ann, John, and Bill Cusack, just to name the acting members of the family, all of whom enjoy working together, it is a safe bet that if a Cusack has a substantial role in a film, one or more of the others has a minor role somewhere in the film. It's more the norm than the exception with this family.
* French comedy superstar Creator/LouisDeFunes shared the screen with his son, Olivier de Funès, in six movies, either as father and son in-story (''Film/LesGrandesVacances'', ''Film/{{Hibernatus}}''), uncle and nephew (''Film/LHommeOrchestre''), or unrelated (''Film/{{Fantomas}} Unleashed'', ''Film/TheBigRestaurant'', ''Sur un arbre perché'').
* Creator/ClintEastwood and family:
** ''Film/SuddenImpact'', the fourth film of the ''Film/DirtyHarry'' franchise, has Creator/SondraLocke, who was in a domestic relationship with Creator/ClintEastwood at the time, as the RapeAndRevenge-driven serial killer antagonist, who eventually ends up sleeping with Harry.
** Clint and daughter Alison Eastwood star together in ''Tightrope''.
** Clint and son Creator/ScottEastwood can be seen together in ''Film/GranTorino'' and ''Film/TroubleWithTheCurve''.
** Clint and daughter Creator/FrancescaEastwood in ''True Crime''.
** Clint and Kyle Eastwood in ''Film/HonkytonkMan'', as well as small roles in ''Film/BroncoBilly'', ''Film/TheOutlawJoseyWales'' and ''Film/TheBridgesOfMadisonCounty''.
* When actress and first-time director Creator/VeraFarmiga needed someone to play the younger version of her own character in the film ''Higher Ground'', she tapped her then sixteen-year-old sister [[Creator/TaissaFarmiga Taissa]] for the role, launching her acting career in the process. The film also had Vera's son Fynn Hawkey as Baby Abigail and Vera's & Taissa's sister in law Molly Hawkey as Molly. Taissa would later play Vera's daughter in ''At Middleton'', and both appear in ''Film/TheConjuringUniverse'' (Vera as [[Film/TheConjuring Lorraine Warren]] and Taissa as [[Film/TheNun Sister Irene]]).
* Creator/HenryFonda and his daughter [[Creator/JaneFonda Jane]] played father and daughter in ''Theatre/OnGoldenPond''.
** Creator/PeterFonda's daughter Creator/BridgetFonda appears as one of the hippie children in ''Film/EasyRider''. Peter and Henry had a brief scene together in ''Film/WandaNevada'' (which Peter directed as well as starred in).
* Then-couple Creator/JeffGoldblum and Creator/GeenaDavis costarred in ''Film/TheFly1986'', ''Transylvania 6-5000'' and ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy''.
* Creator/JamesGunn frequently casts younger brother Creator/SeanGunn, all the way back to Gunn's writing debut in ''Film/TromeoAndJuliet''. There is also a cameo of their parents in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', while Gunn's wife Creator/JenniferHolland plays Emilia Harcourt in ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' and ''Series/{{Peacemaker|2022}}'', Ms. Espenschied in ''Film/{{Brightburn}}'' (produced by James, written by his brother Brian and his cousin Mark), and Administrator Kwol in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3''.
* ''Film/BigBullet'' stars real-life brothers Jordan Chan and Rucco Chan as onscreen brothers. The former plays a cop and the latter plays the former's informant.
* Wrestling/DwayneJohnson's stuntman, Tanoai Reed, is his cousin.
* Real-life mother and daughter Creator/DianeLadd and Creator/LauraDern have played mother and daughter in at least six movies (cf ThoseTwoActors: ''Film/RamblingRose'', ''Film/WhiteLightning'', ''Film/WildAtHeart'', ''Film/CitizenRuth'', ''Film/DaddyAndThem'' and ''Film/InlandEmpire''.)
* ''Film/DDay'' stars Mikhail Porechenkov and his real-life daughter, Varvara as his onscreen daughter.
* No one knew that porn stars Amber Lynn and Buck Adams were brother and sister until they were cast in the same film and were scheduled to have sex with each other. They put a stop to ''that'' pretty damned quick by revealing their relationship to one another.
* In ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'', Creator/MelissaMcCarthy's husband Ben Falcone has a small role as a man her character (Megan) hits on [[spoiler:and later hooks up with.]]
** They also share scenes in ''{{Tammy}}'', with Falcone as Tammy's {{Jerkass}} boss.
** In ''Film/TheBoss'', Ben Falcone plays Michelle Darnell's attorney.
*** In addition to Ben Falcone, Melissa [=McCarthy=]'s eldest daughter plays Michelle Darnell as a child and her youngest daughter plays a background extra.
* ''Film/ThunderForce'' has Melissa [=McCarthy=]'s older daughter Vivienne appears as the younger version of her mom.
* Any Creator/MarxBrothers movie is, of course, an example, as Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Zeppo were brothers in real life. In the movie ''Film/HorseFeathers'', Zeppo actually plays Groucho's ''son''.
* Creator/PaulNewman and his wife Joanne Woodward appeared in ten films together. He also acted opposite his son Scott in ''Film/TheToweringInferno''.
* Creator/ChuckNorris starred in several films directed by his brother Aaron.
* The 1946 British war film, ''Film/TheCaptiveHeart'', featured Creator/MichaelRedgrave as a prisoner of war who has to fake his identity. His real-life wife, Rachel Kempson, played the widow of the dead soldier whose identity he steals.
** Redgrave also acted with his daughter, Creator/VanessaRedgrave, in ''Film/BehindTheMask'' (1958) (her screen debut) and in the musical ''Film/OhWhatALovelyWar'' (1969), with Vanessa playing his daughter in the former.
* Creator/DavidReivers was twice cast as the father of the character his actual son Creator/CorbinBleu played, in ''Film/HighSchoolMusical3SeniorYear'' and ''Film/JumpIn''.
* Creator/KurtRussell and family:
** Real-life couple Creator/KurtRussell and Creator/GoldieHawn appear together as a couple in ''Film/{{Overboard|1987}}''.
** Russell's first wife, Season Hubley, makes an appearance in ''Film/EscapeFromNewYork'', and his son (with Goldie Hawn), Creator/{{Wyatt|Russell}} has cameos in both ''Film/EscapeFromLA'' and ''Film/{{Soldier}}''.
** Father and son Bing and Creator/KurtRussell play father and son in ''Elvis'' (1979). Oddly enough, Kurt's first wife Season Hubley plays Priscilla Presley in this one.
* Creator/AdamSandler often has his wife and daughters make cameos in his films, but they take center stage in ''Film/YouAreSoNotInvitedToMyBatMitzvah''. The film stars his daughter Sunny Sandler as Stacy Friedman, with Adam playing her character's father Danny and her real life sister Sadie Sandler playing Stacy's sister Ronnie. Adam's wife Jackie also appears in the film as Gabi Katz.
* Creator/MartinSheen and his sons Creator/EmilioEstevez and Creator/CharlieSheen often appear in films together, though not always as relatives.
** In ''Film/YoungGuns'', Emilio's character is even more or less responsible for the death of Charlie's.
** A very memorable scene from ''Film/HotShotsPartDeux'' featured Charlie's character writing a journal as a nod to his role in ''Film/{{Platoon}}'', which then fades into Martin Sheen parodying a monologue from ''Film/ApocalypseNow''. The two then stand up and give each other the thumbs up as their boats pass, both saying "I loved you in ''Film/WallStreet''" (another film they both starred in, where they played father and son).
** Then there was the film ''Film/MenAtWork'', written by and starring Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. They're not related in the film, however.
** Estevez and Sheen also share screen time together in ''Film/LoadedWeapon1''.
** Another movie Martin and Emilio star together as father and son is ''Film/TheWay2010''.
** Emilio and Martin also appeared in Charlie's sitcom ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen''.
** Martin's brother Creator/JoeEstevez plays a minor role in ''Film/TheCaliforniaKid'' as the protagonist's murdered brother.
* Creator/GarySinise's son, Mac, played younger versions of Gary's characters in both ''Film/MissionToMars'' (2000) and ''Film/{{Impostor}}'' (2001).
* Creator/WillSmith and his son, Creator/JadenSmith, played father and son in ''Film/ThePursuitOfHappyness'' and ''Film/AfterEarth''.
** He and his daughter, Willow Smith, played father and daughter in the 2007 film ''Film/IAmLegend''. Apparently, Smith is a fair dad and wanted to give both his kids a movie.
** His two kids made cameo appearances in ''Film/MenInBlackII'' as two kids being neutralized in a climatic flying car chase scene.
* Creator/JerryStiller and his son Creator/BenStiller:
** ''Film/{{Zoolander}}'' is written by, directed by, and stars Creator/BenStiller. No wonder, then, that his father would be playing Derek Zoolander's agent, and his mother Anne Meara also featured in a cameo as a protestor. And his then-wife Christine Taylor as Derek's love interest Matilda.
** The two play opponents of each other in ''Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory''.
** Also both star together in ''Film/{{Heavyweights}}'' and ''Film/TheHeartbreakKid2007''.
** Jerry, Ben and sister Amy all had small roles in ''Film/HighwayToHell'', but their characters weren't related.
* During their marriage, Creator/ElizabethTaylor and Creator/RichardBurton appeared in several films together; the most famous is ''Film/WhosAfraidOfVirginiaWoolf''. Not that there's any irony in that.
* Creator/JohnWayne and his son Patrick were in several movies together including ''Film/TheSearchers'', ''Film/McLintock'' and ''Film/BigJake''.
* The Willis family:
** In ''Film/{{Striptease}}'', mother and daughter Erin Grant and Angela Grant are played by real-life mother and daughter Creator/DemiMoore and Creator/RumerWillis (her dad is Creator/BruceWillis).
** In the movie ''Film/MortalThoughts'', Creator/BruceWillis played a vicious wife-beater who constantly sexually harassed his wife's best friend, played by his then-wife Creator/DemiMoore. Made all the more complicated [[spoiler: when the two filmed a violent attempted rape scene.]]
** Bruce and Demi also voice a criminal couple in ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtheadDoAmerica''. Bruce's character starts the plot by hiring assassins to kill Demi's character.
** Bruce Willis and Rumer Willis can be seen together in ''Film/{{Hostage}}''.
** In ''Film/{{Bandits}}'', Willis dines with a kidnapped bank manager's family. Said manager's daughters are Willis' oldest (Rumer) and youngest (Tallulah), with the former delivering [[TheLadette an amazing belch]].
** Bruce's three daughters appeared in ''Film/TheWholeNineYards'' as the kids who run between Jimmy and Oz when they are standing next to the flower cart.
* Creator/LukeWilson and Creator/OwenWilson, brothers in real life, were together in ''Film/TheRoyalTenenbaums'', but not as brothers (Luke played Ritchie Tenenbaum, while Owen played Eli, a friend of the Tenenbaum kids). They were also in Disney's ''Film/AroundTheWorldIn80Days2004'' -- as the Wright Brothers.
** Luke also appears with his other brother, Andrew, in ''Film/{{Idiocracy}}''. Andrew is Beef Supreme, one of the "corrections personnel" trying to kill Joe (Luke) in "Rehabilitation".
!!Individual films
* In the German movie ''Film/SiebenZwerge'', an adaption of ''Literature/SnowWhite'', the Evil Queen and Snow White are played by Music/NinaHagen and Cosma Shiva Hagen respectively, who are mother and daughter. ([[{{Irony}} The biological kind, not the "step-" kind.]])
* ''Film/{{Aliens}}'':
** A scene which was cut and later reinstated for the DVD release shows Newt's parents and brother, Timmy. Timmy was played by Carrie Henn's brother Christopher, who had read the part to help Carrie out and was ultimately cast in the small role.
** In another deleted scene, Ripley is shown a photograph of her late daughter, who had grown old and died while Ripley was in hypersleep in a spaceship that fell adrift. The resemblance is uncanny because the photo is of Creator/SigourneyWeaver's real mother.
* ''Film/AlreadyTomorrowInHongKong'': Jamie Chung and Bryan Greenberg are married, playing characters in relationships with other people who have a mutual attraction.
* In ''Film/TheAlternate'', starring Creator/EricRoberts and Bryan Genesse, both Roberts' wife Erica and Genesse's wife Brooke appear.
* Chip, the Scottish Fold cat that plays Alfie in the movie ''Film/{{Argylle}}'', is actually owned by director Matthew Vaughn's wife, Claudia Schiffer. Alfie was going to be played by a "professional" stage cat, but Vaughn fired him on the first day and "volunteered" Chip for the job.
* In the film version of ''Literature/ArnTheKnightTemplar'' Creator/GustafSkarsgard appears as King Knut. Gustav's younger brothers [[Creator/BillSkarsgard Bill]] and Valter appear in the second film playing Knut's sons Erik and Jon. Their father, Creator/StellanSkarsgard also appears in the films as Jarl Birger Brosa, but his character is not related to the characters his sons play.

* ''Film/{{Brimstone}}'': Guy Pearce and Carice Van Houten are a married couple in real life. Which makes their characters' situation of DomesticAbuse and ParentalIncest somewhat awkward.
* ''Film/BurningAmbition'' stars siblings from Hong Kong's esteemed Wai family (all their members prominent stuntpeople), Austin Wai and Creator/KaraWai as onscreen siblings. Ironically they don't share any scenes together [[spoiler:due to Kara's character dying rather early in the film]].
* In ''Film/{{Cannonball}}'', Coy Buckman is played by Creator/DavidCarradine while one of his opponents, Jim Crandell, is played by David's brother Creator/RobertCarradine.
* In ''Film/Carrie1976'', Priscilla Pointer plays her daughter Creator/AmyIrving (Sue Snell)'s character's mother, something which Creator/BrianDePalma seems to have done in ''Film/Sisters1973'', too, with Jennifer Salt's mother playing her mother.

* In the 1938 film of ''Film/{{A Christmas Carol|1938}}'', Bob Cratchit, Mrs. Cratchit, and Belinda Cratchit were played by Gene, Kathleen, and June Lockhart.
* ''{{Film/Christine}}'': Morgan Spector, Creator/RebeccaHall's husband, plays the doctor that Christine sees.

* ''{{Film/Clara}}'': Creator/PatrickJAdams plays Isaac, while Creator/TroianBellisario portrays Clara. Their characters become a couple, while they're married.
* In the Music/WeirdAlYankovic {{mockumentary}} ''Film/TheCompleatAl'', Al's parents play fictionalized versions of themselves.
* ''Film/ConfessionsOfASeries'':
** Eric, one of the members of Kipper in ''Film/ConfessionsOfAPopPerformer'', is played by Maynard Williams, the son of Creator/BillMaynard.
** The three mourners in ''Film/ConfessionsFromAHolidayCamp'' were all played by real-life siblings of Creator/DorisHare.
* ''Film/CoyoteUgly'': The pictures of Violet's [[PosthumousCharacter late mother]] are actually pictures of Creator/PiperPerabo's real mother as there was no need to cast an actress for the character.
* ''{{Film/Creation}}'': Creator/CharlesDarwin's wife Emma is played by Creator/PaulBettany's actual wife Jennifer Connolly.
* ''Film/CriminalActivities'': Matthew is played by Chris Haley, the son of director and co-star Creator/JackieEarleHaley.
* In ''Film/CryBloodApache'', Jody [=McCrea=] plays the protagonist Pitclain as a young man, and his father Creator/JoelMcCrea plays him as an older man: an AdvertisedExtra part that allowed them to include Joel's name on the poster.
* In ''Film/DaddysLittleGirls'', the main character's three daughters are played by sisters China, Lauryn and Sierra [=McClain=], and their names in the movie are China, Lauryn, and Sierra.

** The photograph of Danny's late mother was also, in fact, a photograph of Samuel Irons' actual mother (Jeremy Irons' wife, and Cyril Cusack's daughter, actress Sinéad Cusack).

* Both Creator/MalcolmMcDowell and his nephew Creator/AlexanderSiddig appear in Neil Marshall's 2009 film ''Film/{{Doomsday}}'', though sadly they do not share any scenes. Their characters are also unrelated, the former being a warlord in post-apocalyptic walled-off Scotland, and the latter the British prime minister of the remainder of the country who doesn't leave London.
* In the movie ''Film/{{Eegah}}'', writer/director Arch Hall Sr. cast his son Arch Hall Jr. as the boyfriend of his character's daughter. There were probably some awkward moments on that set.
* In ''Film/EvesBayou'', Jurnee Smollett (Eve)'s real-life brother Jake plays Eve's younger brother Poe.
* In the film ''Film/TheFalconsBrother'', The Falcon, Gay Lawrence, played by Creator/GeorgeSanders, is helped by his brother, [[TheDanza Tom]], played by his real-life brother, Tom Conway. There is a striking resemblance.

* In ''Film/{{Freaks}}'', the romance between the male and female circus dwarfs is muted -- they were actually brother and sister in RealLife.
* In ''Film/FromBeyondTheGrave'', the peculiar father and daughter pair of Jim and Emily Underwood are played by Creator/DonaldPleasence and his daughter Angela.
* ''Film/{{Gigli}}'' was centered on this. As a vehicle for Creator/BenAffleck and Music/JenniferLopez's relationship, it died along with public interest over their coupling, along with Creator/KevinSmith's ''Film/JerseyGirl'' which starred Affleck and had Lopez in a smaller role.
* In ''Film/TheGodfather'', Michael Corleone's young son Anthony is played by Anthony Gounaris. In ''Film/TheGodfatherPartII'', he is played by Anthony Gounaris's older brother James.
* The real parents of ''Film/TheGoonies'' were cast as their parents for the final reunion, save for Mikey and Brand's parents being played by established actors.
* ''Film/TheGreatBuckHoward'' stars Creator/ColinHanks; his more famous dad [[Creator/TomHanks Tom]] shows up briefly as his character's father.
* In ''Film/GrizzlyMountain'', Dan Haggerty stars in the show - as do his two children Dylan Haggerty and Megan Haggerty. Dylan is one of the protagonists, while Megan is the ''other'' sister.

** In the sixth movie, the 11-year-old Tom Riddle is played by Creator/RalphFiennes' nephew, Hero Fiennes-Tiffin.
** In ''Deathly Hallows - Part One'', Mad-Eye Moody is joined by Bill Weasley, who is played by Creator/BrendanGleeson's son Creator/{{Domhnall|Gleeson}}. This may have been intentional, as when Bill gets attacked by Fenrir Greyback in the book version of ''Half-Blood Prince'', his facial injuries were described as giving him "a distinct resemblance to Mad-Eye Moody."
** In the epilogue of the eighth movie, Draco Malfoy's future wife Astoria Greengrass is played by Jade Olivia, Creator/TomFelton's girlfriend.
** Creator/AnnaFriel apparently really wanted to play Remus Lupin's fiancee Nymphadora Tonks so that she could act alongside Creator/DavidThewlis, her romantic partner at the time. The role went to Creator/NataliaTena.
** In the Polish dub of the movies, the actors voicing Filch and Draco Malfoy (from ''The Chamber of Secrets''; the first movie had a different VA) are father and son.

* In ''Film/KickboxingAcademy'', characters played by a real-life brother and sister ([[Series/PowerRangersInSpace Christopher Khayman Lee]] and [[Series/GreysAnatomy Chyler Leigh]], despite the spelling) kiss. Awkwardness ''not'' avoided for viewers who know about this. This would not be the siblings' only onscreen kiss, leading to some speculations about those two...
* In ''Film/KissKissBangBang'', Creator/RobertDowneyJr.'s son Indio plays RDJ's character as a young child.
* Creator/ChristopherLambert and Creator/DianeLane played love interests in the thriller ''Film/KnightMoves'' while they were married in real life.

** ''Machete'' was also directed by Creator/RobertRodriguez, who is Danny Trejo's second cousin.
* In ''Film/{{Maleficent}}'', two-year-old Aurora was played by Creator/AngelinaJolie's daughter Vivienne, as the other toddler actresses were too frightened by Jolie's costume to approach her. Meanwhile, Vivienne still recognized her mother and was naturally calm around her, the exact reaction that the scene called for. Since this was the moment that began Maleficient's HeelFaceTurn, it was crucial that the little girl be as natural as possible.
* In ''Film/AManCalledOtto'', the younger version of Creator/TomHanks is played by his son Truman. (the Brazilian dub did the same, as Marco Ribeiro's son Renan voices the young Otto)
* In ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', the actress who played the daughter, Debbie, Jackie Neyman, was actually the real-life daughter of the actor who played The Master, Tom Neyman. [[IncestuousCasting Well, that just puts a whole new spin on the ending, now doesn't it?]] ''Manos'' was an ''extremely'' low-budget movie made by a community theatre group, so pretty much everyone in it is at least a friend, if not actually a relative, of everyone else.
* For ''Film/TheManySaintsOfNewark'', a prequel film to ''Series/TheSopranos'', Creator/JamesGandolfini's son Creator/{{Michael|Gandolfini}} plays young Tony Soprano.
* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:

*** Two of the women who nurse Thor back to health after the fight against Hulk are played by Creator/TaikaWaititi's and Chris Hemsworth's wives, Chelsea Winstanley and Elsa Pataky.

* ''Film/TheMatrix'' movies have Creator/LaurenceFishburne playing Morpheus, while his wife Creator/GinaTorres plays Dozer's widow Cas--two characters who, oddly enough, never actually share a scene. In a notable WhatCouldHaveBeen example, Creator/WillSmith was actually Creator/TheWachowskis' first choice for the lead role of Neo, but he had to turn down the role because of his commitment to ''Film/WildWildWest''; if he'd accepted it, he would have wound up sharing the screen with ''his'' wife, Creator/JadaPinkett-Smith, who was cast as Niobe in the sequels.

Both the first and second movie also feature Linda Harrison, wife of Fox then-president Dick Zanuck, as the NubileSavage Nova.
* ''Series/{{Wings}}'' is not the only place where Creator/AmyYasbeck and Creator/JohnRitter have been on screen together. They also appear in both ''Film/ProblemChild'' movies, though Yasbeck inexplicably [[YouLookFamiliar plays two different characters]].
** They were also on an episode of ''Series/TheCosbyShow'' as an expecting couple whose baby is being delivered by Dr. Huxtable. Though, strangely enough, this was years and years before they were even dating.
* ''Film/OldDogs'', Creator/JohnTravolta, late Creator/KellyPreston and their daughter Ella Bleu Travolta working together as Charlie Redd, Vicki Geer and Emily Geer. Late Preston and Ella played as mother and daughter but John not played as late Preston's husband and Ella's father.

* ''Film/ReeferMadnessTheMusical'': Creator/ChristianCampbell as Jimmy appears onscreen with his sister Creator/NeveCampbell as the waitress in the local diner, though their characters are (apparently) not related.
* ''Film/TheRetreat2021'': Rossif Sutherland (Gavin) and Celina Sinden (Layna) are, like their characters, a married couple.
* ''Film/RickiAndTheFlash'' features Creator/MerylStreep and her daughter Mamie Gummer as an estranged parent and child (they are very much not, and the director had to add tension to their relationship by ordering them to stay apart during filming).
* Siblings Spencer and Creator/AbigailBreslin played siblings in ''Film/RaisingHelen''.
* ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}'':
** Rocky Jr. was [[TheOtherDarrin recast]] for each film from ''Film/RockyII'' to ''Film/RockyBalboa''. Creator/SylvesterStallone's son Sage played him in 1990's ''Film/RockyV''. Also, for his birth in ''Film/RockyII'', he was played by Stallone's other son Seargeoh.

* Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr and Creator/SarahMichelleGellar were married during the production of the two ''Film/ScoobyDoo'' films.

* In ''Film/{{Scrooged}}'' Creator/BillMurray's brother John plays his brother James. Another brother, Creator/BrianDoyleMurray plays his character's father in the Christmas Past segment.
* In ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption,'' the old photo of Red, at the time of his incarceration, which is shown briefly when Red is up for parole, is not an old photo of Creator/MorganFreeman, but rather a photo of Freeman's son Alfonso. Alfonso Freeman also appeared in a parody called "The [=SharkTank=] Redemption" as "Fred Redding". He also appeared opposite his dad in ''Film/{{Se7en}}'', ''Film/NurseBetty'' and ''Film/TheBucketList''.
* In ''Film/{{Sideways}}'', the pictures of Miles and his father are actual pictures of Creator/PaulGiamatti with his late father, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bart Giamatti.

** Denis Lawson, who played the MauveShirt pilot (and very successful AscendedExtra in the [[Franchise/StarWarsLegends EU]]) Wedge Antilles in the ''Star Wars'' OT, is the uncle of Creator/EwanMcGregor, who played the young Obi-Wan in the prequel trilogy. Apparently, Denis told his nephew not to take this gig.
*** Lawson was also offered the chance to play a walk-on role in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' as Captain Antilles -- the pilot who Vader strangles in ''Film/ANewHope''. Alas, he didn't take it.
*** Lawson was again offered a small roll in 2015's ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', and he said no once more. Meanwhile, nephew Ewan accepted a voice cameo.
** Creator/CarrieFisher's daughter Creator/BillieLourd plays Lieutenant Connix alongside her mother reprising the role of Princess Leia, in both ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' and ''Film/TheLastJedi''. In ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'', after Fisher's death, Lourd provided the body double for Leia and Fisher's face was digital superimposed.

* While filming ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', Creator/JamesCameron [[MakingUseOfTheTwin took advantage of the fact]] that Creator/LindaHamilton has an identical twin sister in order to save on his special effects budget. In three scenes that required two "Sarah Connors" to be on screen at the same time (the playground scene where Sarah is trying to warn everyone about the oncoming nuclear war, the CPU reprogramming scene, and the scene where the T-1000 takes Sarah's form), Cameron uses Hamilton's sister, [[http://terminator.wikia.com/wiki/Leslie_Hamilton_Gearren Leslie Hamilton Gearren]], as a double rather than using CGI to achieve the same effect. In addition, the toddler in the nightmare sequence is Hamilton's actual son.
** The usage of a twin was also done with Don and Dan Stanton for the scene where the T-1000 takes on the form of one of the asylum's security guards and murders the real guard.
* Creator/JohnMills and his daughter Creator/HayleyMills both starred in the movie ''Film/TigerBay'', he plays a police detective and she the lone witness to a murder he is investigating. The two made other movies together as well.

* ''Film/TheViewAskewniverse'':
** In the first scene of ''Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'' where we see the title characters as babies, Silent Bob is played by Creator/KevinSmith's daughter Harley Quinn Smith. Smith's wife also appears as one of the villainous jewel thieves, who noticeably takes no part in the gang's big scene as she's getting the van ready. Smith says on the DVDCommentary, "A better husband probably would have given her more to do." He does make an ActorAllusion out of it though. She comments to the others, "The fat one is creeping me out."
** She also appears as a receptionist in ''Film/JerseyGirl'' and is finally given a more important role in ''Film/ClerksII'' as Dante's fiancé.
** Smith's daughter also appears in ''Clerks II'' as the little girl who waves at Dante from her dining room window before the donkey show.

* ''Film/{{Wendry}}'': Twins Gabe and Gavin Naquin are James and Douglas Darling, two twin brothers.

* Creator/JuddApatow often casts [[Creator/LeslieMann his wife]] and daughters Creator/{{Maude|Apatow}} and Iris in his films, such as ''Film/KnockedUp'', ''Film/FunnyPeople'' and ''Film/ThisIs40''. His justification for using his own kids is that he doesn't like child actors and would rather not have to work with them.
* Creator/KateBeckinsale's daughter Lily Mo Sheen has portrayed a child version of her (Kate) in the ''Film/UnderworldEvolution'' and ''Film/EverybodysFine''.
** Lily also had a small part in ''Film/{{Click}}''.
* Creator/MonicaBellucci and Creator/VincentCassel were married and have appeared as a couple in ''Film/LAppartement'', ''Film/{{Dobermann}}'' and ''Film/{{Irreversible}}''. Bellucci also has a cameo unconnected to Cassel's character in ''Film/{{Sheitan}}''.

* Creator/LloydBridges and son Creator/JeffBridges in ''Film/BlownAway''.
** And brothers Jeff and Creator/BeauBridges in ''Film/TheFabulousBakerBoys''
* Creator/TimBurton often casts his real-life girlfriends (first Lisa Marie and then Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter) with the latter getting the more meatier parts than the former as Bonham Carter was already a well-respected Academy Award-nominated actress before she and Burton hooked up.
* Creator/JakeBusey and father Creator/GaryBusey star together in ''Film/StraightTime''.
** Jake Busey is also in ''Film/ThePredator''--as the son of his father's character in ''Film/Predator2'', Peter Keyes.
* Creator/FrancisFordCoppola is known for doing this in general. He hired his father Carmine to do the score for ''Film/TheGodfather''. He cast his sister Creator/TaliaShire to play Connie Corleone in the movies. And in the third movie, his daughter Creator/SofiaCoppola was cast as Mary Corleone after Creator/WinonaRyder became unavailable. He's also cast his nephew Creator/NicolasCage in ''Film/RumbleFish'', ''Film/TheCottonClub'' and ''Film/PeggySueGotMarried''. He has yet to work with his nephew Creator/JasonSchwartzman (Shire's son).
** Speaking of ''Film/TheCottonClub'', estranged tap dancing brothers Sandman and Clay Williams were portrayed by real-life brothers Gregory and Maurice Hines.
* Real-life husband and wife Creator/HumeCronyn and Creator/JessicaTandy starred as husband and wife in several movies: Joe and Alma Finley in ''Film/{{Cocoon}}'' and ''Cocoon 2: The Return'', Frank and Faye Riley in ''Film/{{batteriesnotincluded}}'', and the Roeders in ''Film/TheSeventhCross''.
* Then-couple Creator/TomCruise and Creator/NicoleKidman in ''Film/EyesWideShut''. Apparently, director Creator/StanleyKubrick wanted a real couple for the scenes together. (He had thought about a different famous actor couple before; Creator/AlecBaldwin and Creator/KimBasinger.) We all know how ''that'' ended up.
** Tom and Nicole also starred in ''Film/DaysOfThunder'' and ''Film/FarAndAway'' as a couple.
* Some examples from movies starring Creator/MacaulayCulkin which feature his siblings:
** ''Film/HomeAlone'': Creator/KieranCulkin plays Kevin's cousin Fuller.
** ''Film/TheGoodSon'': Quinn and Rory Culkin appear as Henry's siblings Connie and Richard, whom [[spoiler:Henry murders before the events of the film]].
** ''Film/RichieRich'': Rory plays the [[TimeshiftedActor younger Richie]].
* Siblings [[Creator/JohnCusack John]] and Creator/JoanCusack frequently appear together. In ''Film/SayAnything'' and ''Film/MartianChild'' they played siblings. In ''Film/HighFidelity'', they play siblings yet again, and their real-life mother appears as the mother of their characters.
** Since you have Susie, Joan, Ann, John, and Bill Cusack, just to name the acting members of the family, all of whom enjoy working together, it is a safe bet that if a Cusack has a substantial role in a film, one or more of the others has a minor role somewhere in the film. It's more the norm than the exception with this family.
* French comedy superstar Creator/LouisDeFunes shared the screen with his son, Olivier de Funès, in six movies, either as father and son in-story (''Film/LesGrandesVacances'', ''Film/{{Hibernatus}}''), uncle and nephew (''Film/LHommeOrchestre''), or unrelated (''Film/{{Fantomas}} Unleashed'', ''Film/TheBigRestaurant'', ''Sur un arbre perché'').

* When actress and first-time director Creator/VeraFarmiga needed someone to play the younger version of her own character in the film ''Higher Ground'', she tapped her then sixteen-year-old sister [[Creator/TaissaFarmiga Taissa]] for the role, launching her acting career in the process. The film also had Vera's son Fynn Hawkey as Baby Abigail and Vera's & Taissa's sister in law Molly Hawkey as Molly. Taissa would later play Vera's daughter in ''At Middleton'', and both appear in ''Film/TheConjuringUniverse'' (Vera as [[Film/TheConjuring Lorraine Warren]] and Taissa as [[Film/TheNun Sister Irene]]).
* Creator/HenryFonda and his daughter [[Creator/JaneFonda Jane]] played father and daughter in ''Theatre/OnGoldenPond''.
** Creator/PeterFonda's daughter Creator/BridgetFonda appears as one of the hippie children in ''Film/EasyRider''. Peter and Henry had a brief scene together in ''Film/WandaNevada'' (which Peter directed as well as starred in).
* Then-couple Creator/JeffGoldblum and Creator/GeenaDavis costarred in ''Film/TheFly1986'', ''Transylvania 6-5000'' and ''Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy''.
* Creator/JamesGunn frequently casts younger brother Creator/SeanGunn, all the way back to Gunn's writing debut in ''Film/TromeoAndJuliet''. There is also a cameo of their parents in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'', while Gunn's wife Creator/JenniferHolland plays Emilia Harcourt in ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' and ''Series/{{Peacemaker|2022}}'', Ms. Espenschied in ''Film/{{Brightburn}}'' (produced by James, written by his brother Brian and his cousin Mark), and Administrator Kwol in ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3''.
* ''Film/BigBullet'' stars real-life brothers Jordan Chan and Rucco Chan as onscreen brothers. The former plays a cop and the latter plays the former's informant.
* Wrestling/DwayneJohnson's stuntman, Tanoai Reed, is his cousin.
* Real-life mother and daughter Creator/DianeLadd and Creator/LauraDern have played mother and daughter in at least six movies (cf ThoseTwoActors: ''Film/RamblingRose'', ''Film/WhiteLightning'', ''Film/WildAtHeart'', ''Film/CitizenRuth'', ''Film/DaddyAndThem'' and ''Film/InlandEmpire''.)
* ''Film/DDay'' stars Mikhail Porechenkov and his real-life daughter, Varvara as his onscreen daughter.
* No one knew that porn stars Amber Lynn and Buck Adams were brother and sister until they were cast in the same film and were scheduled to have sex with each other. They put a stop to ''that'' pretty damned quick by revealing their relationship to one another.
* In ''Film/{{Bridesmaids}}'', Creator/MelissaMcCarthy's husband Ben Falcone has a small role as a man her character (Megan) hits on [[spoiler:and later hooks up with.]]
** They also share scenes in ''{{Tammy}}'', with Falcone as Tammy's {{Jerkass}} boss.

* ''Film/ThunderForce'' has Melissa [=McCarthy=]'s older daughter Vivienne appears as the younger version of her mom.
* Any Creator/MarxBrothers movie is, of course, an example, as Chico, Harpo, Groucho, and Zeppo were brothers in real life. In the movie ''Film/HorseFeathers'', Zeppo actually plays Groucho's ''son''.
* Creator/PaulNewman and his wife Joanne Woodward appeared in ten films together. He also acted opposite his son Scott in ''Film/TheToweringInferno''.
* Creator/ChuckNorris starred in several films directed by his brother Aaron.
* The 1946 British war film, ''Film/TheCaptiveHeart'', featured Creator/MichaelRedgrave as a prisoner of war who has to fake his identity. His real-life wife, Rachel Kempson, played the widow of the dead soldier whose identity he steals.
** Redgrave also acted with his daughter, Creator/VanessaRedgrave, in ''Film/BehindTheMask'' (1958) (her screen debut) and in the musical ''Film/OhWhatALovelyWar'' (1969), with Vanessa playing his daughter in the former.
* Creator/DavidReivers was twice cast as the father of the character his actual son Creator/CorbinBleu played, in ''Film/HighSchoolMusical3SeniorYear'' and ''Film/JumpIn''.

** Father and son Bing and Creator/KurtRussell play father and son in ''Elvis'' (1979). Oddly enough, Kurt's first wife Season Hubley plays Priscilla Presley in this one.
* Creator/AdamSandler often has his wife and daughters make cameos in his films, but they take center stage in ''Film/YouAreSoNotInvitedToMyBatMitzvah''. The film stars his daughter Sunny Sandler as Stacy Friedman, with Adam playing her character's father Danny and her real life sister Sadie Sandler playing Stacy's sister Ronnie. Adam's wife Jackie also appears in the film as Gabi Katz.
* Creator/MartinSheen and his sons Creator/EmilioEstevez and Creator/CharlieSheen often appear in films together, though not always as relatives.
** In ''Film/YoungGuns'', Emilio's character is even more or less responsible for the death of Charlie's.
** A very memorable scene from ''Film/HotShotsPartDeux'' featured Charlie's character writing a journal as a nod to his role in ''Film/{{Platoon}}'', which then fades into Martin Sheen parodying a monologue from ''Film/ApocalypseNow''. The two then stand up and give each other the thumbs up as their boats pass, both saying "I loved you in ''Film/WallStreet''" (another film they both starred in, where they played father and son).
** Then there was the film ''Film/MenAtWork'', written by and starring Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez. They're not related in the film, however.
** Estevez and Sheen also share screen time together in ''Film/LoadedWeapon1''.
** Another movie Martin and Emilio star together as father and son is ''Film/TheWay2010''.

** His two kids made cameo appearances in ''Film/MenInBlackII'' as two kids being neutralized in a climatic flying car chase scene.
* Creator/JerryStiller and his son Creator/BenStiller:
** ''Film/{{Zoolander}}'' is written by, directed by, and stars Creator/BenStiller. No wonder, then, that his father would be playing Derek Zoolander's agent, and his mother Anne Meara also featured in a cameo as a protestor. And his then-wife Christine Taylor as Derek's love interest Matilda.
** The two play opponents of each other in ''Film/DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory''.

* Creator/JohnWayne and his son Patrick were in several movies together including ''Film/TheSearchers'', ''Film/McLintock'' and ''Film/BigJake''.
* The Willis family:
** In ''Film/{{Striptease}}'', mother and daughter Erin Grant and Angela Grant are played by real-life mother and daughter Creator/DemiMoore and Creator/RumerWillis (her dad is Creator/BruceWillis).
** In the movie ''Film/MortalThoughts'', Creator/BruceWillis played a vicious wife-beater who constantly sexually harassed his wife's best friend, played by his then-wife Creator/DemiMoore. Made all the more complicated [[spoiler: when the two filmed a violent attempted rape scene.]]

** Bruce Willis and Rumer Willis can be seen together in ''Film/{{Hostage}}''.

* In ''Film/TheAlternate'', starring Creator/EricRoberts and Bryan Genesse, both Roberts' wife Erica and Genesse's wife Brooke appear.

Gustav's younger brothers [[Creator/BillSkarsgard Bill]] and Valter appear in the second film playing Knut's sons Erik and Jon.

* Both Creator/MalcolmMcDowell and his nephew Creator/AlexanderSiddig appear in Neil Marshall's 2009 film ''Film/{{Doomsday}}'', though sadly they do not share any scenes.

* In ''Film/FromBeyondTheGrave'', the peculiar father and daughter pair of Jim and Emily Underwood are played by Creator/DonaldPleasence and his daughter Angela.
* ''Film/{{Gigli}}'' was centered on this. As a vehicle for Creator/BenAffleck and Music/JenniferLopez's relationship, it died along with public interest over their coupling, along with Creator/KevinSmith's ''Film/JerseyGirl'' which starred Affleck and had Lopez in a smaller role.
* In ''Film/TheGodfather'', Michael Corleone's young son Anthony is played by Anthony Gounaris. In ''Film/TheGodfatherPartII'', he is played by Anthony Gounaris's older brother James.

** In ''Deathly Hallows - Part One'', Mad-Eye Moody is joined by Bill Weasley, who is played by Creator/BrendanGleeson's son Creator/{{Domhnall|Gleeson}}. This may have been intentional, as when Bill gets attacked by Fenrir Greyback in the book version of ''Half-Blood Prince'', his facial injuries were described as giving him "a distinct resemblance to Mad-Eye Moody."
** In the epilogue of the eighth movie, Draco Malfoy's future wife Astoria Greengrass is played by Jade Olivia, Creator/TomFelton's girlfriend.
** Creator/AnnaFriel apparently really wanted to play Remus Lupin's fiancee Nymphadora Tonks so that she could act alongside Creator/DavidThewlis, her romantic partner at the time. The role went to Creator/NataliaTena.

Meanwhile, Vivienne still recognized her mother and was naturally calm around her, the exact reaction that the scene called for. Since this was the moment that began Maleficient's HeelFaceTurn, it was crucial that the little girl be as natural as possible.
* In ''Film/AManCalledOtto'', the younger version of Creator/TomHanks is played by his son Truman. (the Brazilian dub did the same, as Marco Ribeiro's son Renan voices the young Otto)
* In ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate'', the actress who played the daughter, Debbie, Jackie Neyman, was actually the real-life daughter of the actor who played The Master, Tom Neyman. [[IncestuousCasting Well, that just puts a whole new spin on the ending, now doesn't it?]] ''Manos'' was an ''extremely'' low-budget movie made by a community theatre group, so pretty much everyone in it is at least a friend, if not actually a relative, of everyone else.

** ''Film/ThorRagnarok'':
*** Chris Hemsworth's brother Creator/{{Luke|Hemsworth}} plays a stage actor playing Thor at Asgard, which doubles as a DevelopmentGag since their brother Liam was originally considered for the role before his older brother was cast.

*** Two of the women who nurse Thor back to health after the fight against Hulk are played by Creator/TaikaWaititi's and Chris Hemsworth's wives, Chelsea Winstanley and Elsa Pataky.

In a notable WhatCouldHaveBeen example, Creator/WillSmith was actually Creator/TheWachowskis' first choice for the lead role of Neo, but he had to turn down the role because of his commitment to ''Film/WildWildWest''; if he'd accepted it, he would have wound up sharing the screen with ''his'' wife, Creator/JadaPinkett-Smith, who was cast as Niobe in the sequels.

He also appeared opposite his dad in ''Film/{{Se7en}}'', ''Film/NurseBetty'' and ''Film/TheBucketList''.

Apparently, Denis told his nephew not to take this gig.
*** Lawson was also offered the chance to play a walk-on role in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' as Captain Antilles -- the pilot who Vader strangles in ''Film/ANewHope''. Alas, he didn't take it.
*** Lawson was again offered a small roll in 2015's ''Film/TheForceAwakens'', and he said no once more. Meanwhile, nephew Ewan accepted a voice cameo.
** Creator/CarrieFisher's daughter Creator/BillieLourd plays Lieutenant Connix alongside her mother reprising the role of Princess Leia, in both ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' and ''Film/TheLastJedi''.

* While filming ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'', Creator/JamesCameron [[MakingUseOfTheTwin took advantage of the fact]] that Creator/LindaHamilton has an identical twin sister in order to save on his special effects budget. In three scenes that required two "Sarah Connors" to be on screen at the same time (the playground scene where Sarah is trying to warn everyone about the oncoming nuclear war, the CPU reprogramming scene, and the scene where the T-1000 takes Sarah's form), Cameron uses Hamilton's sister, [[http://terminator.wikia.com/wiki/Leslie_Hamilton_Gearren Leslie Hamilton Gearren]], as a double rather than using CGI to achieve the same effect. In addition, the toddler in the nightmare sequence is Hamilton's actual son.

She comments to the others, "The fat one is creeping me out."
** She also appears as a receptionist in ''Film/JerseyGirl'' and is finally given a more important role in ''Film/ClerksII'' as Dante's fiancé.
