followed in some legendary footsteps.

son of one of the greats of our time,
Tom. You've seen Colin in movies including "King
Kong," "W."

House Bunny." The pair appeared in the movie "The
Great Buck Howard," as, you guessed it, father and
son.

Montana: The Movie" this year, and there's the
TV show.

our generation, Michael is the son of another great,
Kirk.
Julian Lennon: The son of the late Beatles
great
John Lennon will release his sixth album, "Everything

Boy," currently filming with a British teen idol
playing the young Beatle, has Julian worried.
Search has why.
Charlie Sheen: He did movies for years and
years, but lately, he's been focused on his hit TV
comedy "Two

hard-drinking bachelor. His dad

TV in the 1960s. They appeared in
this 1990s movie together.
Ben Stiller: The actor, producer, director
and writer really got into movies in the 1980s as a

the
Will. The pair starred in "The
Pursuit of Happyness" together.

Al, has penned some books, but Kristin's 2004 debut

What book is it? She also has an Emmy nomination for
her writing for a sketch comedy show.
Which one?
Mario Batali: This famous chef's love of
cured meats (such as
