Actor Parents Who Have Shared the Big Screen With Their Kids

Though they've had public ups and downs, Jolie and Voight played daughter and father in 2001's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

Jolie continued the family tradition for Maleficent this year. The adorable Jolie-Pitt got her big break because, well, no one else would do it. Jolie told Entertainment Weekly that Vivienne was the only child who wasn't scared of her: "We think it's fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal for Brad and I at all. But the other 3- and 4-year-old [performers] wouldn't come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv."

Vivienne isn't the only Jolie-Pitt to star alongside her parent. Shiloh has a very brief cameo as the daughter of her papa in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

The 1973 movie not only starred father and daughter — it also made 10-year-old Tatum the youngest person to ever win an Oscar.

Paltrow had already won an Oscar by the time she costarred with her fellow actress mom in 2003's Sylvia. Paltrow played famed poet Sylvia Plath, and in perfect symmetry, Danner played her mother, Aurelia.

A bona fide movie star before his son joined the family business, Kirk played Michael's onscreen father in the comedy It Runs in the Family in 2003.

In another pairing in which mom and daughter play mom and daughter on screen, Sarandon and Amurri Martino starred together in The Banger Sisters.

In the comedy classic Zoolander, Ben's dad, Jerry, plays his manager, Maury Ballstein.

Stiller's mom, Anne Meara, also appears in Zoolander as an angry protester who accosts Derek. Stiller's parents also made cameos in Heavyweights as the original owners of the camp that Ben's character takes over.

Will and Jaden played father and son in last year's After Earth, but we prefer their pairing in 2006's The Pursuit of Happyness, because Jaden is irresistibly, ridiculously adorable.

Streep and her look-alike daughter team up but don't appear on screen together in Evening — because they play the same character at different ages. How's that for good casting?

Meryl and Mamie aren't the only mother-and-daughter performers in Evening. British actresses Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha Richardson also appear on screen together, and they play mother and daughter.

Alexander has made a name for himself as hot vampire Eric on True Blood while his dad is a big-screen veteran, but in 2011, they paired up in the drama Melancholia. Stellan's character was the best man at Alexander's character's wedding.

Willis has two acting parents, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, and her first two credits are in her mom's movies. She has a tiny role in Now and Then and a slightly bigger role as her mom's daughter in the provocative Striptease.

The 1987 classic Wall Street gave Charlie Sheen a memorably '80s role, but do you remember that dad Martin played his dad in it, too?

Dunham's mom is better known as a famous artist than as an actress, but that didn't stop her from starring in Dunham's 2010 indie film, Tiny Furniture, as Dunham's character's mom.

The Hanks boys have been in a couple of movies together: 2008's The Great Buck Howard, in which they were father and son, and 1996's That Thing You Do!, which was Colin's first role (he has a small part as a page).

Just like in the TV series of the same name, Miley and her dad played daughter and father in Hannah Montana: The Movie in 2009.

Like many others, John played Mathew's dad in the sweet romantic comedy Fools Rush In.
