Rubbish siblings

Zen-Chan · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 326

Based on an entertaining discussion today at work, who are some of your favourite (in the sense of they are so heroically rubbish) siblings of famous people that have tried to make it in the same field as their talented relation. Bonus points if they have a rubbish forename, too.

Examples such as:

Don Swayze (such legendary acting credits as "Prison Officer #2" and "tattooed man")
Jamie Murray (Andy Murray's older, clumsier, less talented brother who only plays doubles tennis because he can't qualify at singles level)
Paul Terry (while little brother John earns £135'000 a week at Chelsea, he scrambles around lower league English clubs)
Frank Stallone (Frank Stallone)

Casey Affleck did the film about Madie McCann before it happened.

Edit: "Gone baby gone"

He was quite good in Jesse James. In fact Jesse James is better than any movie his brother starred in, so i wouldn't call him rubbish.

Good call. Fans can still get this from Amazon though.

Only one I can think of is Mimi Mcpherson, younger sister of Elle who has done some modelling but the only reason I know of her is that there was some leaked home porn movie of her. Assuming it was her anyway - can't say I've seen it.

Following the Wiki page on her, I found this pic of her though

which is frankly terrifying.

(I should point out that she doesn't have a rubbish forename before I get lynched)

Jim Hanks, younger bother of Tom Hanks

Although hasn't done that bad. A lot of voice over work in place of Tom.

I've always considered Alan White (former drummer of Oasis) to be rubbish compared to his brother Steve (plays with Paul Weller a lot!)

But he's not as much a drop out as the rest of the people in this thread..

But seriously, Dannii Minogue is ace compared to Kylie! :hat:

Amazing piercing eyes. Imagine them boring into you while she's bouncing around on top.

You know, trying to get your coffin lid to shut back up and stuff.... happens all the time.

Yeah? Well, I've met them both and you're so wrong MrChris is feeling threatened.

<possibly apocryphal story>

One of Michael Douglas' brothers (I'll call him Eric) fancied himself as a bit of a standup. He came over to the UK to do a set and was dying on his arse. Some hecklers got involved and he said "you can't do this to me, I'm Eric Douglas".

Quick as a flash, people began standing up saying "I'm Eric Douglas!" "No I'm Eric Douglas!"

Amusingly, Jim Hanks played Turner in that episode of Scrubs when Turk and JD were messing with the board to get Turner and Hooch to do surgery together.

Sophie Allsopp.

The rules for shagging her would be exactly like the reason she got her telly career. Looks the same, sounds the same, but you know you are only going through with it because her sister isn't available.

Ah, yes - a classic example.

As for Powerman 5000 (Rob Zombie's brother's band), I actually saw them about ten years ago supporting Pantera. They were awful.

In fairness to Jamie Murray, at least he's won a Grand Slam Title, at Wimbledon too!

Jake was ok in zodiac and brokeback mountain. Maggie is ugly and annoying. Can't believe they chose her to play katie holmes in the dark knight.

Only you and Joker find her pretty. Even batman lost interest in her when he saw that she was way uglier in the second film.
