I know this video is a year old but if you ever make another list you should definitely add Brad Dorif and his daughter to this list because of the Chucky series. Most people know that she has been in the series for a few years as Neka but in the series she plays Neka as well as possessed Charles Lee Ray possessing the body but she also plays a younger Charles in scenes leading up to and after he meets Tiffany Valentine. She looks so much like Brad as Charles in these scenes you almost have to do a double take to recognize her in the roll. Though her dad still does the voice over in those scenes its so fun to see chucky runs in the blood lol.

I knew about a few of these. I knew that the two women playing Mary Cooper were mother and daughter, that Robert Downey Jr was in a movie with his son and and that Eva Amurri was in a few things with her mother. But honestly, I had no idea that Vin Diesels son was in a Fast and Furious movie, let alone playing a younger version of the character his dad played for 20 years. That is insane.

Lily Sheen played a younger version of her real mom Kate Beckinsale as Selene in the Underworld series. I can't remember specifically which one but I know she did. Just throwing that out there.

Dwayne The Rock Johnson portrayed his father Rocky Johnson in a first season episode of That '70s Show. Plus, in the film Baadasssss, Mario Van Peebles portrayed his father Melvin.

For number 1, didn't they use all the rapper's sons for the movie. I would also like to point out that for the Gibbs one, I never knew Mark Hammon's son played a younger Gibbs.

One I was hoping to see at least as an honorable mention is Bill Paxtons son playing a younger version of his character on Agents of SHIELD after Bill had passed away.

He wasn't a child when he did it, but Mario Van Peebles portrayed his own dad, Melvin, in Baadasssss! Also, Geraldine Chaplin played her own grandmother in Chaplin.

Mamie Gummer looks more like she could be Laura Dern's sister than Meryl Streep's daughter. Mamie also slayed as Nancy Crozier in The Good Wife.

Why do you always insist on saying Downey, Jr? You can just say Downey. The junior is only necessary when saying his full name.

Surprised that James and Bill Paxton didn't make the list. James played a younger version of his father on Agents of Shield.
