1	->''"A lot of the voice actors in this one have said things to me like, 'Finally, a show I can show my family!'"''
2	-->-- '''Director's DVDCommentary''' for the ''Manga/AngelicLayer'' dub
3
4	An actor well known for playing characters in adult rated works decides to act in an all-ages work that they can show to their own children.
5
6	This often overlaps with ParentalBonus and DemographicDissonantCrossover. Kind of contrasts with OldShame, only most of their work becomes an Old Shame (which might apply to someone who consciously stops doing a particular type of production for good and downplays or tries to ignore what they did before). Frequently overlaps with SelfCensoredRelease.
7
8	RatedGForGangsta may be a subtrope if the performer decides to focus their career on family-friendly fare rather than the work that made them famous. If a person does work on a kid-oriented film or show, but they do not have any children of their own or their kids are older than the target demographic of the show they appeared on, that sort of role would be considered a SesameStreetCred. See also RetroactiveRecognition, for examples of when the kid show or film in question kicked off their acting career or was done before the celebrity was famous.
9
10	For some reason, this often gets conflated with MoneyDearBoy, despite the fact that children are in no part of the definition. While an actor might do a children's show because it pays well, it's only this trope if the actor's motivation is explicitly based on producing a work that can be enjoyed by children (usually their own). As such, AwesomeDearBoy often has more to do with it, especially when it's a long-running children's show that holds nostalgia factor for them or a remake of a movie they grew up with. Can be the {{justifi\|edTrope}}cation of QuestionableCasting and CelebrityVoiceActor. At times has also been invoked in an attempt to break {{Typecasting}}. Related to WrittenForMyKids, where an author writes a work for their children, but there is still an important distinction: this is when the author is known for works targeting older audiences, and not written specifically with the author's child or children in mind. Compare to PromotedFanboy, when the actor or actress partakes in a work because they were a fan of the franchise or company before getting the role.

23	[[folder:Anime and Manga]]
24	* As mentioned in the page quote above, the anime adaptation of CLAMP's ''Manga/AngelicLayer'' allowed many of its actors to be able to show their work to their children, due to the show's lighthearted, childlike atmosphere being a significantly different direction from most of their roles in adult-oriented animation.
25	* On the DVDCommentary for ''Anime/PrincessMononoke'', Creator/BillyBobThornton said that he wanted to do something his kids could watch, although some [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids wouldn't call Mononoke a kid's movie]]. In an interview Thornton later admitted that this move had backfired, calling ''Mononoke'' one of the "most violent things I'd ever seen."
26	** Speaking of Creator/StudioGhibli, this seems to be the reason for the involvement of much of the voice cast of the English dub for ''Anime/TheWindRises''. However, although it's not as inappropriate as ''Princess Mononoke'', the film seems to be more artsy than typical Creator/StudioGhibli fare and wouldn't appeal much to said children.
27	* Azusa Sato played the role of Fuwari Midorikaze in ''[[VideoGame/PriPara PriPara]]'' because her two-year-old niece was a huge fan of the series.
28	* ''Franchise/DragonBall'': In the Latin American Spanish dub of ''Dragon Ball'', Creator/MarioCastaneda accepted the role of (adult) Goku after being convinced by [[Creator/ArturoCastaneda his son Arturo]] (Mario actually had rejected the role when it was first offered by Gloria Rocha, the dub's director at the time). Two decades later, [[PromotedFanboy Arturo became the voice of Whis]] and is still proud of his father's work.
29	* Japanese singer Hitomi appeared AsHerself on ''[[Anime/{{Tamagotchi}} GO-GO Tamagotchi!]]'' for her then six-year-old daughter. She also sang the opening and ending themes of the show for the same reason.
30	* According to a segment on their show ''Akashiya-san Channel'', manzai act FUJIWARA took a guest role in ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' because Toshifumi Fujimoto's daughter was a huge fan of the franchise and had a massive collection of merchandise, with the series in question, as well as ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'' and ''Anime/HeartCatchPrettyCure'', being her favorite series.
31	* Mette Holm, who's one of only an extremely few professional Japanese translators in Denmark, has almost only translated literature with an adult audience, for example Creator/HarukiMurakami. She has generally refused to translate {{shonen}} manga, citing the mainstream titles as [[QuirkyWork too weird for her taste]] and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence unnecessarily violent]]. [[note]]Because of that, most manga released in Denmark are based on German translations[[/note]] However, she was willing to translate the {{shojo}} manga ''Kare First Love'' since she believed that its themes could appeal to and be relevant for her own teenage daughters.

34	[[folder:Comic Books]]
35	* Phil and Kaja Foglio of ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' fame have said that ''ComicBook/XXXenophile'' will probably be on hiatus until at least after their kids grow up.

37
38	%%Literature note: If a book began as a story told to a child, it probably belongs on InspirationForTheWork rather than here. SoMyKidsCanWatch is really about someone who already does things that aren't for children, who then decides to change and do a more family-friendly one. InspirationForTheWork is more for instances where someone was just having fun telling a story to a kid and then thought "hey, that'd make a good book".
39
40	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
41	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
42	** This goes as far back as the genesis of the show. Creator/WilliamHartnell, the First Doctor, took the part so his Grandkids could watch and [[PlayingAgainstType because he wanted to get away from his typecasting as military types]].
43	** Whilst not actually having children himself, Creator/ChristopherEccleston accepted the role of the Ninth Doctor in the new series partly because he wanted a chance to spread his wings and do something light-hearted and fun that kids could watch after being known for his largely dark, brooding roles. Even then, his Doctor was pretty much the darkest and most brooding one yet. He went on record saying what touched him the most was the responses he got from children who watched him.
44	** Likewise, Creator/PeterCapaldi might not have taken the role of the Twelfth Doctor because of his trope (his daughter being a bit too old for it to apply), but it did allow him to appear in something family-friendly after a career best known for edgy productions such as the F-bomb-filled ''Series/TheThickOfIt''. Since becoming the Doctor, Capaldi has generally stuck to appearing in family-friendly fare when not filming the show, such as ''Film/Paddington2014'' and ''Film/Paddington2''.
45	** Creator/JohnSimm, whilst noted and having achieved critical acclaim for his serious dramatic work, accepted his role as the Master in order to impress his son. There's also a suspicion that he rather enjoyed the chance to [[LargeHam ham it up]] in the process. This is a recurring theme for many British thespians who have appeared on the show, many (almost ruefully) noting that whilst they may be up there with the great Theatre/{{Hamlet}}s of the age, their appearance on ''Doctor Who'' is the only role their kids are interested in.
46	*** Simm's episodes were so filled with scares that he (reputedly) [[{{Irony}} ended up forbidding his son from watching.]] His son likely got some idea of what happened in the episodes, given he got a ''lot'' of attention from his schoolmates because his dad was the Master.
47	** Ben Browder signed on for "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E3ATownCalledMercy A Town Called Mercy]]" in part because his kids watched the show.
48	** Example with a less famous actor in the classic series: Mary Peach appeared in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E4TheEnemyOfTheWorld The Enemy of the World]]" because her kids wouldn't believe she was a real actress until she'd been on ''Doctor Who''. Another actor in a Hartnell/Troughton-era story said pretty much the same thing.
49	** Although it may not have been intended, British actress Creator/CharityWakefield created this scenario over a one-month period between December 2016 and January 2017 when she acted in two adults-only miniseries engaging in nude sex scenes in ''Series/CloseToTheEnemy'' and ''Series/TheHalcyon'', but exactly midway between those broadcasts she took a guest-starring role in the decidedly family-friendly episode "[[Recap/DoctorWho2016CSTheReturnOfDoctorMysterio The Return of Doctor Mysterio]]." Her co-star in the episode, Creator/JustinChatwin, has a similar adults-only history, being best known for co-starring in the raunchy US cable series ''Series/ShamelessUS''.
50	** Emmy-winning writer Richard Curtis admitted that he wrote the episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E10VincentAndTheDoctor Vincent and the Doctor]]" for this exact reason.
51	** Ben Wheatley directed Peter Capaldi's first two episodes [[http://io9.com/doctor-who-director-says-capaldi-brings-back-the-classi-1515244187 because his son's a fan and he wanted to make something his son could see]].
52	** In a kind of related example, many of the actors appearing in the new series also come on the show because ''they'' used to religiously watch the show as kids and the chance to fulfill an old childhood ambition was just too good to pass up. Most notably, Creator/DavidTennant -- the Tenth Doctor -- has publicly remarked that the entire reason he got into acting was [[PromotedFanboy so that he could one day play the Doctor]]. If Andy Bigstar wasn't a fan when he grew up, then his kid is now. It's kind of a win-win for the producers.
53	*** When Tennant appeared on ''Series/TopGear'' as Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, Clarkson asked if it really was true that David went into acting because as a child he wanted to be the Doctor, Tennant simply answered by asking, "Didn't '''every'''one?" To which the audience erupted in loud cheering, naturally.
54	** Olivia Colman has said in interviews that she took her role in "The Eleventh Hour" partially so that her children (who were young at the time) could watch her on screen; this backfired when she forgot about the monstrous CGI teeth they had added in post, and had to shut off the episode almost immediately when the kids panicked to see mummy as a monster.
55	** Craig Parkinson [[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-craig-parkinson-rumours-newsupdate/ said in an interview]] that he was pleased to be on the show for Series 13 as a villain, the Grand Serpent, so his ten-year-old son could watch him and hopefully be impressed at seeing his dad act.
56	* Creator/FredAstaire proactively asked for a guest appearance on the original ''Series/{{Battlestar Galactica\|1978}}'' TV series for this very reason, which is ironic given nearly every film he ever made (save perhaps a couple of dramatic roles like ''Film/TheToweringInferno'') was G-rated. As it was, producer Creator/GlenLarson was delighted to create an entire episode to feature him.
57	* Creator/JackieEarleHaley--whose recent roles have included a pedophile in ''Little Children'', Rorschach in ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'', and Freddy Krueger in the rebooted ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet2010''--has said that he enjoys his role on ''Series/HumanTarget'' because it's something [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuC4nTSx00Y his daughter can watch]]. He later returned to more adult roles such as playing the villain Ruvik in the M-rated horror video game ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin''.
58	* Creator/FrankLangella appeared in the opening three-parter of season 2 of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' because his kids were fans. Indeed, he even asked to be uncredited so people wouldn't think he was doing it for money.
59	** He also played Skeletor in the [[Film/MastersOfTheUniverse live-action He-Man film]] for this reason. Of course, that was for more than just his kids; Langella has often identified Skeletor as his favorite role he's ever played, relishing the [[LargeHam unique opportunities]] it offered.
60	* Creator/JonStewart laments on ''Series/TheDailyShow'' about trying to get on his kids' favorite TV show. Because the negotiations often take months, the kids aren't interested in the show anymore by the time he makes a guest appearance.
61	** Finally, he just [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-august-13-2008/intro---spirit-of-the-jaguar brought the show to him.]] (Unless you've actually ''seen'' ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'', that might not make sense.)
62	** He also appeared on ''Series/JacksBigMusicShow'' as a reporter doing a story on Groundhog Day because it was one of his son's favorite shows.
63	* Creator/JasonDavidFrank claimed that one of the reasons he returned in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' was so that his still not-yet-born daughter could watch him later.
64	* Joshua Malina took a guest role on ''Series/ICarly'', including a bikini dog food fight, for this reason.
65	** May have been the reason for Jane Lynch's appearance as Pam Puckett, Sam's mom.
66	*** Jane Lynch's reason was sweeter and more awesome at the same time. In her ''wedding vows'', she promised her partner to try and get tickets for the show for their kids. The show doesn't have a studio audience, so tickets were an impossibility. However, when the producer heard that, he was so flattered he decided to find a role for her so she could bring them. Up until that point, he had never planned to show Sam's mom on-screen, because he could never find an actress good enough. But when he thought about it, he realized Jane Lynch would be perfect for the role, and wrote the episode for her.
67	* Creator/OttoPreminger played Mr. Freeze in one episode of ''Series/Batman1966'' for the sake of his six-year-old twins. This is also the reason why Creator/EliWallach chose to play Mr. Freeze in the same series.
68	* Music/AnnaTsuchiya, who performs ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'''s theme song -- her sons are big ''Franchise/KamenRider'' fans, and so [[http://forums.henshinjustice.com/showpost.php?p=1441792&postcount=1666 she decided 'why not?' and signed on]].
69	* Though it isn't a kids' show, Creator/DannyDeVito asked if he could have a part on ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' because his kids liked the show.
70	* Creator/JoanCollins' story at the Star Trek 30th Anniversary of how she got the part in "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS1E28TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever}} The City on the Edge of Forever]]":
71	--> In 1967, when my two children finally entered school, I decided I wanted to go back to acting, and soon afterwards, my agent Tom Corman called to say I'd been offered a great part in a ''Franchise/StarTrek'' episode. \
72	"Star what?" I said?\
73	"It's a huge new cult show," said Tom. "Obviously you haven't been reading the trades."\
74	"No, I've been too busy reading ''Mother and Child Care'' by Doctor Spock."\
75	"Forget Doctor Spock," he said. "Start thinking ''Mister'' Spock."\
76	"Ah, yes!" I said. "Mister Spock, the one the ears? The children love that show!" \
77	"Right, then you'd better do it. You'll probably be queen of the universe, possess intergalactic powers, [[{{Stripperiffic}} wear tight, revealing costumes]]. Trust me, I'm your agent."\
78	A week later I was cast as Edith Keeler, a saintly Earthling, who works as a social worker in a 1930s mission for down-and-out bums in New York's Bowery. Thanks, Tom.
79	* Even before the move to HBO and then HBO Max, ''Series/SesameStreet'' often saw actors from decidedly adults-only productions appear in cameos while said shows were still on the air because they had kids who liked the show. Examples include Creator/PeterDinklage of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' and Creator/EmmyRossum of ''Series/ShamelessUS''. Doubles as ParentalBonus since only parents would likely recognize these people and register why they're popular enough to appear on ''Sesame Street''. It also doubles as an AwesomeDearBoy moment since just about everyone born after 1960 has watched Sesame Street at some point. In fact, this sort of thing [[SesameStreetCred is a trope all to itself]].
80	** Creator/MargaretQualley once recalled her mother Creator/AndieMacDowell appearing on ''Sesame Street'' for this reason, playing a Southern belle stuck in a bell tower, and the unintentional NightmareFuel the scene left on the toddler-aged Qualley. This was actually an appearance on ''Series/MuppetsTonight'', where she played the bell during a ''Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' sketch, complaining that she wanted to play a Southern belle instead of a cathedral bell.
81	* ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'':
82	** Sheryl Leach created ''Barney and the Backyard Gang'' after failing to find children's videos that held her son's attention.
83	** Creator/ToddHaberkorn played Mr. Knickerbocker in the home video "Let's Make Music!" for his son, who was born the year prior to filming.
84	* Anthony Bourdain starred in episodes of ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'' and ''WesternAnimation/SanjayAndCraig'' so his daughter Ariane could watch something he was in.
85	** Lina Cardellini also took roles on ''Sanjay And Craig'' after the birth of her daughter Lilah-Rose.
86	** Bill Hader also starred on ''Yo Gabba Gabba'' for his daughter, since it was her favorite show. This wound up backfiring when she revealed that she was actually embarrassed by her dad's appearance.
87	* After Bill Irwin's son Patrick was born, he starred in an episode of ''Series/SesameStreet'' and stayed as a part of the cast even after his son had outgrown the show, most notably playing Mr. Noodle in ''Series/ElmosWorld''. He also appeared on an episode of ''Series/TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete'' and in the movie ''Film/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' for the same reason.
88	* [[https://brioux.tv/blog/2019/06/19/sean-mccann-1935-2019/ According to an obituary of veteran Canadian actor Sean [=McCann=]]], he took on the role of Noah Tomten on ''Series/TheNoddyShop'' not only because the character was a perfect match for him, but because he was about to become a grandfather himself at the time of production. (This makes perfect sense considering that [[http://web.archive.org/web/20020212180855/http://www.pbs.org/kids/noddy/tips/prodnotes/educational_values.html one of the show's core themes is intergenerational relationships]], with much of the promotional material encouraging grandparents to watch it with their grandchildren.) This could also explain his roles in ''WesternAnimation/LittleBear'' and ''WesternAnimation/GeorgeShrinks''.
89	** This might be one of the reasons Gregory Cross took a role as Ed Caruso: at the time ''Noddy'' was airing, his son Adam was young enough to be in its target demographic.
90	* Niecy Nash appeared in ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheMightyB'' for her daughter Dia.
91	* Kevin Dobson of ''Series/DaysOfOurLives'' fame took a role on ''Series/CaptainKangaroo'' for his children.
92	* Creator/SylvesterStallone guested in an episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' for this reason. And he got to sing a couple of songs!
93	* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'': The episode "My Princess", where Cox tells his son a bedtime story based on recent events at Sacred Heart, was written because Christa Miller (who plays Jordan) asked Bill Lawrence (the showrunner) to make an episode they could show to [[CreatorCouple their]] kids.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Music]]
97	* Music/TheyMightBeGiants released four albums of children's music (three of which are educational) after becoming known for their adult-focused work. Not surprisingly, their adult fans enjoy them too, to the point where kid song "No!" ended up on their "Best Of"-style Dial-A-Song compliations.
98	* Akon [[http://www.billboard.com/news/akon-on-michael-jackson-he-was-completely-1003988428.story#/news/akon-on-michael-jackson-he-was-completely-1003988428.story stated]] Music/MichaelJackson's [[WhatCouldHaveBeen cancelled]] "This Is It" tour was partially made for his kids to finally see dad performing on stage.
99	* John Fogerty of Music/CreedenceClearwaterRevival once appeared on a Christmas video with Music/TheWiggles because his daughter was a big fan of theirs.
100	* Creator/WillSmith stated this was why he always has clean lyrics in his music.
101	* The exact reason why Bobby Womack came out of retirement to sing on Stylo by Music/{{Gorillaz}} (his daughter specifically nudged him to work with Albarn). The song revitalized public interest in Womack, leading to his first album in 18 years.
102	* Creator/MadsMikkelsen initially didn't know who Music/{{Rihanna}} was, but agreed to appear as the villain in the music video for "Bitch Better Have My Money" because his kids are huge fans.
103	* Music/{{Brentalfloss}} recorded and released a child-friendly, "G-Rated" version of his debut album, ''What if This CD... Had Lyrics?'', partly from discovering that many children were listening to his music despite [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids his lyrics not being very appropriate for them]], and partly because he wanted to be able to share his music with his own nephews.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Pinball]]
107	* A "So My Wife Can Play" example: Creator/MarkRitchie created ''Pinball/{{Sorcerer}}'' as a second-anniversary gift to his wife Trudy, who enjoys FantasyLiterature, particularly ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
111	* A variant: Wrestling/ShawnMichaels apparently did the [=SummerSlam=] 2002 Street Fight match with Wrestling/TripleH in order to show his son (who was 2 at the time) what his dad used to do before he was born (up to that point Shawn had been retired from ring action due to a serious back injury suffered at the 1998 Royal Rumble). You can see him wave into the camera as he enters the ring, presumably to his son who was watching from home. It was intended to be a one-off but afterwards, he found his back was able to handle the rigors of wrestling once more and continued his career all the way up to 2010's [=WrestleMania=] XXVI.
112	* Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}'s 2016 return was so his wife and son could watch him wrestle. (He hadn't married or had his son until after his first retirement in 2004.)
113	* Wrestling/KevinSteen signing with WWE was partially for the money, but moreso for his son Owen, a huge fan of the promotion, to see him wrestle. Steen took the name Kevin Owens in honour of his son and his namesake, Wrestling/OwenHart
114	* Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} 2014: Invoked and crossed with ActionDad. In the final ''Ashes'' video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-_R7udfIgQ "Workin'"]], [=assailANT=], who had debuted in 2012 as part of GEKIDO, a group of [[ThePsychoRangers Psycho Rangers]] to five of CHIKARA's top ''[[{{Face}} tecnicos]]''[[note]]17 to Wrestling/MikeQuackenbush, since his name came from the "17 forgotten holds" that he said he knew and that Quack, [[RedBaron "The Master of a Thousand Holds"]], didn't know; The Shard to Wrestling/{{Jigsaw\|Wrestling}}; The Swarm to Wrestling/{{The Colony\|Wrestling}}, with [=assailANT=] to Fire Ant, [=combatANT=] to Soldier Ant and [=deviANT=] to Green Ant. Evil Incompetent Director of Fun Wink Vavasseur added [=assailANT=] to The Colony and stuck Soldier Ant in The Swarm.[[/note]], showed [[Wrestling/TheColonyWrestling Green Ant]] a picture of his son on his phone and explained that he was the reason for his change of heart and why he cut his ties with GEKIDO, that he didn't want his son to see a man "consumed with anger, jealousy or rage." This led to [=assailANT=] being reintroduced at the return show, ''You Only Live Twice'' on May 25, 2014, as Worker Ant, having taken up the mantle of the original who retired due to injuries in 2009.
115	[[/folder]]
116
117	[[folder:Radio]]
118	* A particularly tragic example occurred when comedian Lou Costello, of Creator/AbbottAndCostello fame, lost his son, Lou Jr., to accidentally drowning in the family pool. The evening of the death was going to be the first time Lou Jr. would be allowed to stay up and listen to his father's radio show. Instead of cancelling the show, Lou insisted TheShowMustGoOn, saying "Wherever he is tonight, I want him to hear me."
119	[[/folder]]
120
121	[[folder:Theatre]]
122	* Frank Wildhorn, who composed the songs for ''Theatre/DeathNoteTheMusical'', admits he hadn't even ''heard'' of the original manga or anime when he was offered the job. He was convinced by his teenage son, who said it'd be "the coolest thing he'd ever done."
123	[[/folder]]
124
125	[[folder:Video Games]]
126	* Apparently, Creator/JamesEarlJones acted in both ''[[VideoGame/TexMurphy Under a Killing Moon]]'' and ''VideoGame/CommandAndConquerTiberianSun'' because his grand-kids were video game fans.
127	* This is apparently one of the reasons why Creator/HideoKojima decided to include the ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'' crossover minigame ''Snake VS Monkey'' in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'', the other being a chance to sneak in some good SelfParody. In addition, Snake's appearance in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' [[http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/19/thank-kojimas-son-for-getting-snake-into-smash-bros-brawl/ was the result of his son being a fan of the games]]. This also applies to ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate''.
128	* Creator/IOInteractive, who made the ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}'' games, have often said in interviews that this was the reason they created ''VideoGame/MiniNinjas''.
129	* Creator/SeanConnery returned to the role of Film/JamesBond in [[VideoGame/DoubleOhSevenFromRussiaWithLove the video game adaptation]] of ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' for his grandkids.
130	* Double Fine added [[AdjustableCensorship profanity and gore filters]] to ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'' because of a letter they received from a Tim Schafer fan asking them to make their awesome games appropriate enough for his kid because he and his son loved playing ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}''.
131	* This is why the Polish studio Flying Wild Hog, after the gory ''VideoGame/HardReset'' and ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior2013'', proceeded to create the kid-friendly ''Juju''--they were tired of explaining to their children why they can't play any of Daddy's games. [[note]]''Secret Service'' magazine, issue 97[[/note]]
132	* In ''VideoGame/LegoBatman 3: Beyond Gotham'', Creator/StephenAmell reprised his role of Green Arrow partly because [[http://t.co/uvUUijOk0c he wanted his daughter to see something that he'd been in]]; however, unlike some of these examples, AwesomeDearBoy also comes into it to an extent.
133	* While he doesn't have any children of his own, Music/MikePatton performed the vocals in ''VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesShreddersRevenge'''s rendition of the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987]] ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' cartoon theme song, [[https://www.metalsucks.net/2021/03/10/mike-patton-sings-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-theme-song-for-arcade-game-reboot/ so that his nieces can enjoy music that he's made]]. Similarly to the LEGO Batman example above, the fact that he's already been a fan to start with is a bonus.
134	[[/folder]]
135
136	[[folder:Web Original]]
137	* In Creator/{{Tobuscus}}' earlier Website/YouTube videos, he was unkempt, frequently unshaven, and inclined to profanity. Since 2010, however, he has become almost entirely comedic, ''never'' swears, and is otherwise [[LighterAndSofter squeaky clean]], save for his habitually tousled hair. Not coincidentally, this is about the time when his teenage niece Ciara started appearing in his videos.
138	* Likewise, LetsPlay/SkyDoesMinecraft's videos became more squeaky clean (notably, profanity was lessened and/or censored) around the time he had his son Mason. After separating from his ex-girlfriend Alicia, he's since reverted back.

142	[[AC:Anime & Manga]]
143	* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'': Gohan offers to replace a stunt double who's about to film a very dangerous shot. The primary reason he's doing it is that he's MadeOfIron where the actor isn't, but the other reason (and the one he gives to the {{Muggle}} director and crew) is that he wants his infant daughter Pan to be able to watch her daddy in a professional movie one day.
