Martin Sheen – Charlie Sheen (28 Years Old)
A fun fact you might not know about Martin Sheen is that he is a first-generational American of Spanish and Irish descent. His legal name is Ramón Estévez, but he adopted the stage name Martin Sheen to help him get roles in different films. He knew back them what many immigrants with low privilege in our society have been saying all along: there’s a lot in a name. After conquering the acting world with roles in major films such as The Departed, Badlands, Apocalypse Now, and the television series The West Wing, he turned his sights to activism and has spoken at college campuses across the country on topics ranging from immigration to the environment. He is one of the most applauded and colorful characters in Hollywood. His son, Charlie Sheen, had fewer steps to climb as he began his work as an actor, is well known for his hit television series, Two And A Half Men, where he was the highest paid actor on television. It’s really amazing how far the apple can fall from the tree, as Martin is known for his incredibly positive achievement and Charlie is now infamous for his drug and alcohol abuse and domestic violence allegations.

Tom Hanks – Colin Hanks (25 Years Old)
We think Tom Hanks and son Colin look so similar that Colin could do a remake of Tom’s 2000 starring role in Cast Away! Get your Wilson balls ready, people. All jokes aside, Tom has had a remarkable acting career that started almost fifty years ago. Colin has been tottering around his father’s giant footsteps ever since he was a baby in the 90’s. At 25, Colin hasn’t quite had the acting success that his father had at the same age. He portrayed a character in the movie King Kong and has played Gus in the TV series Fargo. He was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Fargo, but didn’t get to take it home. Don’t fret, Colin! There’s still time to surpass your father’s glory.
