7) Beau Bridges – Son: Jordan Bridges
Jordan Bridges comes from an impressive (see: really bloomin’ awesome) Hollywood dynasty. The son of actor Beau Bridges (Columbus Circle, The Descendents), Jordan has a wealth of undisputed talent threading throughout his entire family. Not only is his father famous, his uncle is Jeff Bridges (you may know him as The Dude) and his grandfather is the legendary Lloyd Bridges (Airplane!’s twitty pilot being just one of his staggering 150 film credits).
The classically-trained forty-year old broke out in a number of recurring guest roles on TV shows Charmed and Dawson’s Creek, as well as a cameo in a standalone episode of Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. He also appeared briefly in the critically-lambasted TV reboot flop Bionic Woman in 2007 before its cancellation. Since 2010 he has appeared as series regular Frankie Rizzoli Jr. on TNT’s Rizzoli & Isles. That’s not to say he hasn’t ventured into film – you might recognize his face from smaller, supporting parts in Frequency, Mona Lisa Smile and J.Edgar.
