Best/Worst Actors Who Are Siblings

[Perham1]

Which sibling acting pair has the widest range in quality between them?

Sean Penn and Chris Penn, off the top of my head.

 

[Rex Kramer]

Julia & Eric Roberts
Dennis & Randy Quaid
Charlie Sheen & Emilio Estevez
The Wayons brothers - they all suck
Eddie & Charlie Murphy

 

[HornFinc]

Jason and Justine Bateman
I've been a big fan of Jason since Silver Spoons, and Justine was just about the hottest thing on TV for this high schooler in the mid-80s. It was kind of creepy to see them together for the couple of Arrested Development episodes, though.

Warren Beatty and Shirley McClaine, though they are both quality

 

[OldHippie]

Groucho, Harpo and Chico Marx were pretty good but not so much Zeppo and Gummo.

 

[darius]

Ethel and Lionel Barrymore (brother and sister) both wons Oscars for Best Actor/Actress.

Olivia De Havilland and her sister Joan Fontaine were both nominated for Best Actress the same year (1941). Fontaine won.

Several other sibling pairs have been nominated for Oscars...the Redgraves, the Phoenixes...

 

[TheNewGuy]

Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal. He's pretty good in most stuff, I can't stand her in anything.

 

[TheNewGuy]

Also Alec Baldwin vs the rest of the family

 

[Perham1]

Except for Adam Baldwin....

 

[MGS]

Goldie Hawn's kids -

Kate Hudson is decent but I can't stand her brother on Rules of Engagement

 

[RomaVicta]

John Belushi (great comic actor) - Jim Belushi (worthless)

 

[2feathers]

Jeff and Beau Bridges - no real comparison.

 

[Basketball Jones]

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen

 

[dheiman]

The Arquettes: (a.k.a. the good, bad, ugly, tranny)
Patricia - decent
Rosanna - at one time good
Alexis (previously Robert). . . what do you say about this one

Richmond - non existent but included
David - arguably the worst actor of all time

 

[OldHippie]

James Arness and Peter Graves

 

[Basketball Jones]

Edwin and John Wilkes Booth
