7 Hollywood stars who passed the TV torch to their kids

Do stellar acting genes get passed down from actor parents to their kids? Or are children of actor parents simply drawn to the career path? Whatever the reason, we’re seeing a new generation of actors that bear a striking resemblance to their established actor parents. And, in some cases, these sons and daughters are starting to make big names for themselves on the small screen.

Here are 7 actors making waves on the small screen who just so happen to be the offspring of a famous Hollywood parent. Some have spent time on the big screen, but most — like much of Hollywood these days — are finding their home on television, and show no sign of wanting to leave.

Max has one of the deepest libraries of any streaming service out there, but that doesn't mean it's easy to find what you want to watch. In fact, because there's so much interesting stuff, it can actually make picking any one thing more difficult.

20 years ago, Nicolas Cage took audiences on a globe-trotting adventure in this heist movie
A group of four people stand above a rail and hold torches.

Twenty years ago, Nicolas Cage's Benjamin Franklin Gates did the impossible in the movie National Treasure: he stole the Declaration of Independence. Directed by Jon Turtletaub, the adventure film follows Ben Gates, a historian and treasure hunter searching for a secret American fortune that dates back to the Freemason treasure. With the help of computer expert Riley Poole (Justin Bartha) and archivist Abigail Chase (Diane Kruger), Gates races to find the hidden treasure before it gets into the hands of the greedy Ian Howe (Sean Bean), his former friend and treasure hunter.

Upon its release, National Treasure divided critics and audiences. Critics rejected the unrealistic plot and premise, while audiences championed the Cage-led adventure. The film's A- CinemaScore and successful box office haul led to a sequel, National Treasure: Book of Secrets, a Disney+ show, and a potential third film. National Treasure remains as enjoyable a watch as it did in 2004.
