    I wonder… Does this imply talent is semi genetic or that people get opportunities based off of who they know/family? Or even just some crazy coincidence in this crazy world?

      in this case? you’d have to convince me that it isn’t just a funny coincidence.

      in many other cases in acting? yeah, it’s definitely a nepotism thing. hollywood is the one place (until lately) where americans could admire dynasties without any particular guilt

      edit - i made a mistake in this post, but the replies are too good to delete it.

        Let me introduce you to the world of professional sports. Especially hockey, but others too.

        Not at the scale of Hollywood, for sure. But it’s been going on a very long time. There are 4th generation NHLers at this point.
