In The Family: 8 Actors You Didn’t Know Had Kids In The ‘Biz

Hollywood families are nothing new in showbiz. Entire family trees that require a pen, paper and a certificate in geneology such as the Coppola-Cage-Schwartzman clan are common knowledge for even those with a passing interest in film. If a rising actor shares a surname with an established star, all it takes is one journalist to ask, and a nepotistic secret is revealed. Famous parent and offspring combos have long been outed - Kiefer Sutherland’s Dad is Donald Sutherland! Quelle surprise! Angelina Jolie is estranged from her father…Jon Voight! Goldie Hawn is Kate Hudson’s Dad! What?! What of those who’ve worked a little harder to make it on their own? To keep the family connection a secret? Read on for 5 actors you never knew had kids in showbiz…

5) Sally Field – Sons:  Peter Craig and Eli Craig

That’s right, Mrs. Lincoln herself produced two sons who charged after her into Hollywood’s embrace. The elder of the two, Peter Craig (above, left) is a writer with three published novels whose debut effort won him the reputable literary award in the shape of a Michener-Copernicus fellowship.  He also co-wrote The Town with Ben Affleck and has bagged the writing duties for the upcoming Bad Boys III and live-action anime, Cowboy Bebop.

More recently, he’s snagged a couple of higher-profile projects. Namely, as screenwriter for the much-awaited Top Gun 2, the script for which is rumoured to be complete. And if that wasn’t enough to impress: he’s co-written The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and 2 with Danny Strong.

The younger of the two, Eli Craig (above, right), first dabbled in small screen roles in the likes of forgettable fodder Carrie 2: The Rage and Space Cowboys. Moving onto direction and production, his finest commitment to cinema is the creative multi-hyphenate role he straddled for one of 2010’s most underrated gems, Tucker and Dale Vs. Evil. No news on whether he’s in the running for the rumoured sequel, on that one.

He’s also had the pleasure of directing his own Mum in an episode of Brothers and Sisters. Let’s hope for his sake it didn’t have any hanky panky in it.
