Francis Ford Coppola and Sofia Coppola
Perhaps acting talent runs in many a family, or perhaps Hollywood – and other film industries – are impacted particularly hard by the dreaded and ever-present nepotism.

9 Arquette family Members: Patricia Arquette, Rosanna Arquette, David Arquette Close The Arquette family goes back generations, when it comes to acting, with Cliff Arquette being a noteworthy radio/TV star, and his son, Lewis Arquette, being a TV actor. But it’s the five children Lewis had who are probably the most recognizable nowadays, with all five – in order, Rosanna, Richmond, Patricia, Alexis, and David – starring in television and/or movies throughout their respective careers.
7 Skarsgård family Members: Stellan Skarsgård, Alexander Skarsgård, Bill Skarsgård Not to be mixed up with Peter Sarsgaard, the Skarsgård family hails from Sweden and has found international success over two generations now. Stellan Skarsgård kick-started things, being particularly well-known for his collaborations with provocative/controversial filmmaker Lars von Trier, with four of his eight sons – Alexander, Gustaf, Bill, and Valter – also becoming actors.

Martin Sheen’s best known for playing fictional U.S. president Jed Bartlet for all seven seasons of The West Wing, and having noteworthy film roles in the likes of Apocalypse Now, The Departed, and the acclaimed arthouse crime movie Badlands.
