Entertainment/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Turns out Jacob Tremblay isn't the only sibling who was bitten by the acting bug. The Room actor's older sister, Emma (right), starred in Aliens Abducted My Parents and Now I Feel Kinda Left Out after building a résumé of both TV and movie roles. Erica (middle), the youngest of the Tremblay trio, has also appeared onscreen including Before I Fall and Extinction. 02 of 33 Kate and Oliver Hudson and Wyatt Russell Kristina Bumphrey/Starpix/Shutterstock, The Walt Disney Company via Getty Kate and Oliver Hudson might have grown up in a family of actors, but that doesn't mean they're tuning in to each and every one of their loved one's projects. "We don't watch each other's stuff. I haven't seen — I've seen maybe a third of [Kate's] movies," Wyatt admitted on a an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Kate later added, "for our family, the novelty has kind of worn off. There's so much work that's being done." The pair's half-brother, Wyatt Russell, has also ventured into the family business with roles that include 22 Jump Street and Under the Banner of Heaven. 03 of 33 Timothée and Pauline Chalamet Kevork Djansezian/Getty The Dune actor has received a lot of hype over the last few years, but did you know that he also has an older sister who acts? Pauline is currently starring in the HBO Max comedy series The Sex Lives of College Girls, and in 2019, she acted alongside Pete Davidson in The King of Staten Island. Pauline has accompanied her brother on the red carpet on multiple occasions, though she told W Magazine that she doesn't quite understand the "frenzy around him," saying of her baby brother, "Timothée is a hard worker. When I see him on the big screen, for me that's just the result of his job. As for the rest, I don't really experience the frenzy around him. I guess it's kind of crazy, but it doesn't affect my life at all." 04 of 33 Evan Ross, Rhonda Ross Kendrick and Tracee Ellis Ross Arnold Turner/Getty, Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty It's no surprise that Diana Ross' children followed in her superstar footsteps. Three of her five children, Tracee Ellis Ross, Evan Ross and Rhonda Ross Kendrick, all chose to pursue careers on screen. One of Tracee's best known roles is Rainbow Johnson on Black-ish and its subsequent spinoffs. Evan has worked on both television and film including two of the Hunger Games films, while Rhonda's performance on Another World earned her an Emmy nod. 05 of 33 Dakota and Elle Fanning Dave Benett/Getty Images There are just four years between these talented sisters!

Hill considers his little sister his personal hero, and even has a tattoo dedicated to her! "People think I'm being over the top. I'm dead-ass serious," Hill told WSJ. Magazine of his admiration for his sister. "The things I struggle with, she had knocked down when she was 14." 09 of 33 Mark and Donnie Wahlberg Kevin Winter/Getty Though both Mark and Donnie Wahlberg launched their careers in music (in Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and New Kids on the Block, respectively), they've also had plenty of success both in front of the camera as actors and behind the camera as producers. 10 of 33 Florence Pugh and Toby Sebastian David M.

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images The Fondas are one of the most-recognized acting dynasties ever; dad Henry won an Oscar, Jane has two, and her little brother, Peter, was a two-time Oscar-nominated actor himself.

(At times, it seems that's all they have in common: In 2018, Alec detailed the brothers' tense relationships over differences of political opinion to The Hollywood Reporter.) 17 of 33 Ben and Fred Savage ABC Photo Archives/Getty Ben and Fred Savage both started acting when they were very young, with Ben starring in Boy Meets World and Fred starring in The Wonder Years. 18 of 33 Brian and Domhnall Gleeson David M.

All three siblings continue to act, and Tia and Tahj recently appeared in Netflix's Family Reunion together. 20 of 33 Vanessa and Chris Williams Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic Vanessa Williams and her brother Chris are both actors, with Vanessa starring in shows like Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives and Chris in shows like Silicon Valley and Californication.

The creators of the iconic In Living Color comedy show, brothers Keenen Ivory, Shawn, Marlon and Damon continue to collaborate on movies and television. With movies like White Chicks, Major Payne and Scary Movie, and TV series like The Wayans Bros., My Wife and Kids and Marlon, having this many actors, directors and writers in the family means endless entertainment. 22 of 33 John and Joan Cusack Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic This brother-sister acting duo aren't afraid to share the screen! Together they've acted in High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank, Say Anything and more! 23 of 33 Dennis and Randy Quaid Bei/Shutterstock Dennis Quaid and his older brother Randy Quaid were staples in some of the most memorable films in the '80s and acted steadily since; the elder Quaid, though, faced legal troubles in 2010 and has stayed mostly out of spotlight since. 24 of 33 Debbie Allen and Phylicia Rashad AFFI/Shutterstock Talent clearly runs in Debbie Allen and Phylicia Rashad's family!

Allen told TV Line that her sister's cameo would "bring true power, fun, and grace in a role that touches a chord about the voice of the people." She added, "Our cast and crew gave her a standing ovation in honor of her presence. I gave her a slice of cornbread." 25 of 33 The Arquette Siblings Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images For the Arquette family, acting just seems to run in their blood, which makes sense as they are descendants of a Vaudeville star. Pictured (from left) are David, Rosanna, Alexis, Richmond and Patricia, in a photo taken before Alexis' death in 2018. Despite their close bond, the siblings have not shared the screen often; Rosanna and Patricia did costar on an episode of Medium in 2008. 26 of 33 Liam and Chris Hemsworth Kevin Winter/Getty Images Liam and Chris are two of the best-looking brothers in Hollywood, and they both have some seriously impressive action hero roles under their belts. Liam starred in The Hunger Games as Gale Hawthorne, while Chris plays Marvel superhero Thor in the Avengers movies. 27 of 33 Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty Shirley MacLaine and her brother Warren Beatty.
