Let's be the siblings of actors whose acting careers weren't as successful as their siblings are/were.

I'm Lorna Luft. Sister of Carrie Fisher.

Hi, thread owner here.

Jim Belushi who thought none of us would notice he’s not John Belushi.

Neil Connery!

Why must you always be so mean to Lorna?

Beanie. Thread closed.

Lars Mikkelsen is (or was?) sexy and has done well enough but he's no Mads.

Let’s not, OP

I'm insufferable shitvag Casey Affleck. I've done much better than I deserve but not as well as my bloated brother. My face alone is repulsive, but once you add my personality I am truly irredeemable

Chad Lowe and casey affleck

Randy Quaid.

Clint Howard

Frankie Jonas

It's hard to be the ugly sister with such a beautiful brother. At least I've established an overpraised directing career for myself, in part because audiences are relieved I am now on the other side of the camera.

Hey y’all! Remember me?

Dedee was total doodoo on Cybil. Terrible! Plus, too old to be Cybil's daughter.

I'm Page Hannah. I didn't make a Splash!!

I'm Faisal Khan, brother of Aamir.

Face it my brother is a better actor.

The muse called and I chose to write. Plus, I didn’t want to get my tits and muff out on screen but I knew someone who would 😉

Please be kind to Joan.

Speaking of ugly sisters, certain genetic features simply work better on a male form. Our poor mother tried to peddle all five of us, but only her sons were successful, and one of them croaked. At least I got to fuck my brother as a consolation, while my poor sister got stuck with aforementioned shitvag Casey Affleck.

Hi, I'm Lana Wood, and I have yet to ID my sister's rapist.

And much more lively too r17!

I'm Tracy Griffith, sister of Melanie, daughter of Tippy. I wasn't much of a Working Girl, my career was for the birds.

I'm Joey Travolta

Do pron siblings count? Asking for a friend...

I'm Frank Stallone

I'm Joel Murray, brother of Bill. I didn't do too bad. I was rather hilarious in Dharma and Greg and I was in the Oscar-winning best picture The Artist.

I'm Tisa, sister of Mia Farrow. I got fingered by James Toback.

I'm Robin Lively. Many people are confused why Blake got the career that I should have had.

[quote]I'm Lorna Luft. Sister of Carrie Fisher.

Oh, DEAR!

Is it Angela or Veronica Cartwright?

Juliet Mills

I was the bigger star in the 80s, but Tim's eclipsed me now.

Oh, Tyne. You’re still big! A size 18 at the very least!

Dee Dee Warrick, Erma and Carolyn Franklin, the Wayans brothers, Charlie Murphy.

I’m Eric Lively, I know, right? Blake is the “talented” one.

I'll be Jack Pickford, and I'll show you, Mary! I'll make up for my lack of success by becoming a living display case of alcoholism, drug abuse, and STDs.

There's Robin Lively, too

I’m William Mapother. I should have gone as Bill Cruise.

[quote]I'm Page Hannah. I didn't make a Splash!!

You got more than I ever did!

Hi, I'm Jennifer...

Oh nevermind...

I'm Justine Bateman.

I’m Channing Tatum and this is my sister Margot Channing and I’m better at floorfucking, but she WINS as the most unbelievable high school student.

I'm Eric Roberts

R39 not siblings

France Jolie was a huge recording act years before her cousin Angelina became a well known actress.

Hi, I'm Jocelyn Brando. You gays loved me in Mommie Dearest.

R10 Agreed, but both are so much hotter than their brother.

Although considered by some theatrical historians to be "the greatest American actor, and the greatest Prince Hamlet, of the 19th century," my piece of shit Confederate brother (a far inferior actor) stole the spotlight from me one night at Ford's Theater.

I am both John and Julie Mitchum, and we carved out surprisingly decent character acting careers. Our brother won the genetic lottery of the family, so we had to make do.

Battle Ax Julie, co-star of Vincent Price

Lard ass John, frequent member of Le Troupe de Eastwood

Chistopher Penn RIP

R53 Chris Penn was more talented than Sean Penn…uglier, somehow, too. I loved him in The Funeral.

I’m Melba Lawson…guess who my big sister is…

I'm Teala Loring, Debra Paget's sister

R49 dude that wiki article is excellent. I had no idea. I'm surprised they haven't done a movie or something on him. Also, very good looking guy for the time.

R57 He was an interesting guy; I'd love to see a movie on him or the Booth family in general. It's pretty funny that he ended up saving Lincoln's son from a train. Who would you cast as ? I would almost say a slightly younger Kevin Spacey, if not for his unpleasantness.

Ellen Travolta

John and Lionel and Ethel - all equals!

Peter Fonda

[R27] Don’t forget about me.

Remember Jimmy McNichol and Kristy McNichol?

My last name is Baldwin.

I'm Lauren Bowles, half sister of Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I guess I was lucky enough to be on a HBO show for several years.

R58 he looks exactly like Jonathan Pryce so probably him, at least as an older man.

R44 the actually talented brother

Casey, the more attractive, more talented Affleck.

Joe Estevez, brother of Martin Sheen.

Emilio Estevez brother of Charlie Sheen

Donald Glover, brother of Danny.

Wallace Lupino.

I'll be Tom Conway, brother of George Sanders

I'm Joey and Ellen Travolta!

I'm Kevin Dillon.

I'm the Shea brothers: Christopher, Stephen, and Eric.

Christopher - A Charlie Brown Christmas

Stephen - Snoopy Come Home

Eric -The Poseidon Adventure

Remember me?

I'm Jimmy Osmond!

R77, he still has the same shell-shocked meth look - like he’s about to steal gum off the floor and it has bits of gravel and maybe hair in it.

My other favorite also-ran is little sister of Irene Dunne, Irene Cara. Sure, “Break Dance” is iconic, but it doesn’t compare to opossum victuals.

Dorothy Gish

Natalie Talmadge

Harold Switzer (Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer's brother, who made his debut in the same "Our Gang" short as Alfalfa)

Adele Astaire

Stephanie Farrow (Mia's sister seen as fellow waitress in "The Purple Rose of Cairo")

r74, Ellen did OK for herself playing Scott Baio's mother on 3 different series. Plus I think she stayed away from that $cientology bullshit.

Ray aka Raymond Duke

I'm shocked to be r82 and realize that no one has referenced FRANK STALLONE.

Lex Baldwin (G4P porn star and brother of TT Boy.)

You'd be even more shocked r82 to see r26!

Do we have to limit this to actors?

Steve Forrest (brother of Dana Andrews)

Bonar Bain

Luke Hemsworth

Tina Yothers' brother, Cory "Bumper" Yothers.

I'm Dawn Lyn, aka the ugly, bratty "Dodie" from "My Three Sons".

Thank God my obnoxious, greedy cunt stage mother eventually focused her efforts on my older brother, Leif Garrett, so I no longer had to be the family breadwinner! That's a lot of pressure to put on a 6-year-old!

I’m NOT Maeve Kinkead!

Thank God.

I'm posting from the dead to remind everyone that in a "Let's be..." thread, all replies begin with either "I'm" or "We're."

He's really not THAT handsome and Hillary loved me for me.

I'm Ann Cusack, the forgotten sister of Joan and John. My most famous role was as the illiterate baseball player Shirley in A League of Their Own.

I'm Ann Prentiss, sister of Paula. I went nuts and died in prison.

I'm Polly Ann Young, Loretta's much less successful sister.

I'm Gene Davis. I was as hot as my brother Brad but not as successful but at least I'm still alive.

I am Randy Spelling. No one can compare to the shame I feel being even less talented than my sister Tori.

I'm Ralph's younger brother Joseph Fiennes

I'm Tim-o-tay's sis Pauline

Pauline Chalamet^^^

I may not be as well-known as my sisters but I'm the normal looking one

It isn't surprising at all that Don Swayze wouldn't have been as successful as Patrick, OP. Patrick in his prime was a radiantly beautiful man, whereas Don has always looked as if Yosemite Sam and Dennis the Menace had had a lovechild.

I'm Ashlee Simpson.

My mom used to say Don Swayze looked like Patrick battling a heroin addiction.

I'm Olive Deering the sister of Alfred Ryder.

I had zero chances

I’m Clint Howard - I was a pretty cute kid - remember Barney Fife’s nemesis Little Cowboy Leon?

I'm Dannii Minogue.

I’m real - and I’m spectacular!!!

it's a true love story

but with only one small caveat

this one hasn't happened yet. . ..

I’m the less talked-about sibling who was also left out of Mom’s will…FOR REASONS THAT ARE WELL KNOWN TO ME.

I'm Caroline Huppert, Isabelle's sister. I directed her in Sincerely, Charlotte.

Hello Chad! I'm posting from the dead to remind everyone that in a "Let's be..." thread, all replies begin with either "I'm" or "We're."

I'm the Kemble siblings who in chorus are saying, "Fuck you, Sarah!"

I'm Ashlee Simpson, the world renowned lipsyncer.

Did Randy Spelling have an acting career? If so I missed it.

I'm Michael Sorvino-child of the late Paul Sorvino. People will probably only remember Mira in the long run even though her career tanked and she's done several crap Christian movies.

R117 Randy's career was pretty short. He was a regular cast member on the short lived daytime soap Sunset Beach and daddy Aaron had a producer credit on that. Randy also played Steve Sanders' half brother on Beverly Hills 90210 towards the end of that show.

I'm Daniel Baldwin. Didn't help that I was the ugliest of the bunch.

I'm Margaux Hemingway. I mean, Muriel's not even that successful...no wonder I offed myself.

I was the successful one for some time, who knew a "raper" named "Marky Mark" would end up being a A list actor

I'm Hal LeSueur. My sister tried her best to give me movie role breaks, but I decided to live off of her money, instead.

I'm Ali Lohan! Anyone remember me? Anyone? Please?

We're the Landers sisters. We were on every TV show in the '70s and '80s. Which was of us was more successful than the other? You gays be the judge!

I'm Magda Gabor. I had exactly two roles, both in Hungary.

I'm Casey Affleck? Actually dont belong listed here

I'm Haylie Duff! You may have seen me on a season of 7TH HEAVEN!

Hi, I'm Beau Bridges!

I'm Buddy Foster, I burned a major bridge with my sister Jodie.

Joan Crawford's brother Hal LeSueur was quite handsome, but he looks nothing like Joan.

Are we safe to assume they had different fathers?

Wait. Some of you think the Jennifer Tilly and Elizabeth Olsen are the *less* successful siblings? Granted, the Olsen twins are billionaires, but ElIzabeth is the freakin' Scarlet Witch in the MCU? You can't get much more successful than that. And Casey Affleck has an *acting* Oscar. Ben's a good director but his main job is being married to JLo.

Awww r129 i always liked him though - and he’s a very good actor.

I'm Tricia Leigh Fisher. I made an appearance at r30 in my half-sibling's thread, but I belong here too for my full sister Joely.

Gale Mayron, sister of Melanie.

Maurice Hines, brother of Gregory.

I'm Jonathan Gilbert, brother of Melissa and Sarah Gilbert, pushed into acting by adoptive mother, played a small role on Little House on the Prarie, and then became estranged from his sisters

I’m Jake Paltrow and none of this is my fault!

Spencer Breslin - not that Abigail has been a raging success.

I’m Rona Newton-John. I was an ex-model/actress who was married to Jeff Conaway. And I’m dead. Jealous, bitches?

In the 2000s, things seemed to be going my way, with my wholesomeness and my vaguely Planet of the Apes countenance. Then my skinnier, prettier sister started booking high-profile movies, and now people hear my name and ask "Is she related to Rooney Mara?" But the day of Kate will come again. I know it to be true.

R141 Lol yes vaguely apes

I'm Emily Deschanel, cashing Bones residuals and unable to remember if Zooey's beau is Drew or Jonathan.

How do you rate the Arquettes? 1. Patricia. 2. Rosanna. 3. Richmond. 4. Alexis?

R144 What about me?

Always thought Kevin Dillon looked exactly like his brother, only with Downs Syndrome.

I'm Maya Kazan still waiting to become as well known as my sister Zoe.

Jake Paltrow is cuter than Gwyneth.

[R57]: A 1953 biography of Booth and his family by Eleanor Ruggles became a critically acclaimed bestseller.

In 1955 it became a film from 20th Century Fox, starring Richard Burton as , with John Derek as his hothead younger brother John Wilkes. With a script by Moss Hart, it’s actually very well done, though it was not a success at the time. It also has an excellent score by Bernard Herrmann, and can be seen on YouTube, though it should really be viewed in its original widescreen CinemaScope format.

^Burton as

^Burton as

(Can’t believe this didn’t post.)

For some reason, my phone is not allowing me to post that an intense Richard Burton played Booth.

No idea why.

Lynn Redgrave is the sister of Vanessa. Yes she had a career but was never considered to be as great as Vanessa.

same goes for the Richardson daughters. Natasha was more successful than Joely.

Has anyone mentioned Dakota and Elle Fanning?

I’m Nat Wolff. I was 5th lead in a Tiger King miniseries nobody watched while my brother Alex was shooting the new Christopher Nolan movie. At least I got papped with Selena Gomez recently.

Gene Hackman's brother Richard has had some small roles in Gene's films.

R157 Nat is the better looking brother. Alex's mole is horrifying to look at times.

I'm Louise and Earlene Mandrell! We wear complementary pastels and play bluegrass!

I'm Rob Lowe little brother, Chad. I'm cute!

I'm Jerry Van Dyke.

I’m Beanie, sister of Jonah. Nice tew meat yeew.

I'm Kris Harmon (Kristin Nelson Harmon)

And I'm David Nelson

[quote]Lynn Redgrave is the sister of Vanessa. Yes she had a career but was never considered to be as great as Vanessa.

I'm of the opinion that Lynn Redgrave was a better actress than her sister Vanessa and certainly far more versatile. She really could and did do it all and very well.

I'm Adam Tomei, Marisa's brother.

I'm not sure many know I'm also an actor, or that I exist.

Christian Campbell, the brother of Neve.

Francoise Dorleac, the sister of Catherine Deneuve.

I'm Ellen Lawson and I am an alcoholic. I admit it, unlike my cunt of a sister MISS Helen Lawson.

I would wear a red ribbon.

I’m Frieda Rentie. I’m the attractive woman wearing a sari in THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE. I am also Marla Gibbs’ kid sister.

I'm Tom Franco.

Frank Stallone

I'm Mina Badie, the half-sister of Jennifer Jason Leigh.

I am Kevin Dillon, Matt's younger bro. I did get hot homoerotic scenes with Ray Liotta in No Escape.

I'm Gloria Blondell, younger sister of Joan.

I'm Missy Gold, I was on Benson but my sister Tracey was on Growing Pains and had an eating disorder.

I'm Nicolle Thom, I was on The Nanny but the real STAR of our family is my sister Heather who has been on Y&R and B&B forever and won awards.

I'm David Tom, brother of Nicolle and Heather.

We're Anna and Beth Winslet, sisters of Kate.

I'm Nels Van Patten. I couldn't play tennis or act as well as Vinnie,

I’m Joyce Van Patten. Dick’s my brother, George Clooney is my ex son-in-law and John Slattery is my current son-in-law.

And I presented hole in a movie.

I'm Syd Chaplin. My younger half-brother Charlie was really famous. Really, really famous. Worldwide famous. Who can compete with that? I quit acting for a while to work as has business manager and negotiated a million dollar contract for him. He named one of his kids after me.

I'm Sydney Chaplin, son of Charlie. I was never as famous as my younger half-sister Geraldine, even though I won a Tony for "Bells Are Ringing". Seven years later I was playing second fiddle to Streisand in "Funny Girl". Of course I had an affair with her, and when she ended it I was bitter. My songs got cut and my part reduced and I was even more bitter. I spent the rest of the run trying to upstage her and would say nasty things to her under my breath on stage. I was an asshole.

Band of Brothers

Keach: Stacey and James - Stacey was more successful.

Quaid: Dennis and Randy - Dennis was more successful.

Carradine: David, Keith and Robert - David and Keith were more successful than Robert

Guest: Christopher and Nicholas - Christopher was more successful Nicholas

All appeared as brothers in a little-known but excellent film The Long Riders.

[quote]Chris Penn was more talented than Sean Penn…uglier, somehow, too. I loved him in The Funeral.

I don't agree about him being more talented than Sean, but I did love him in Short Cuts. That final scene for his character...that look on his face is burned into my brain forever. It seems surprising and out of nowhere, the thing he does, but then when you think back on the character's earlier scenes, it all fits.

Earlier, it was funny that he was ogling a nude Lori Singer while cleaning the pool. They had been in Footloose together nine years earlier.

Nicole Kidman's sister, Antonia Kidman, started out acting, then switched to TV presenter.

I'm Jeanne Cagney, sister of James.

Belita Richardson, sister of TV's Sweetheart.

R186 And she was lousy at that too!

Hahahahahha

Byron Stevens, brother of Ruby Stevens aka Barbara Stanwyck.

Gilbert Miller, brother of DL fave Melissa Beth Miller, has struggled without notable success to establish himself in the field of street performance (living statue).

I'm Scott Brady, younger brother of Lawrence Tierney.
