I was teen (or maybe in college) when Warner Bros. had "Tiny Toons" which was essentially Looney Tunes: The Next Generation. Steven Spielberg was the EP of the show and there were a couple of running gags in the first season or two about how he had no involvement in the show. It turned out Spielberg actually watched the show and was getting depressed by how they were making fun of him so someone had to reach out to the writers and tell them to knock it off.
Coal-miner's kids become coal miners. I'm from a family of mostly aerospace engineers. It's not nepotism, it's just following the well-trod path of your parents. Did Colin Hanks role as "Male Page" in "That Thing You Do!" ruin the movie, or play a key role in his steady but unspectacular career? I don't think so. Is Jeff Bridges still piggy-backing Lloyd? Is Kate Hudson getting jobs thanks to Goldie (or did she ever)? Save the nepotism complaints for where the incompetence is obvious, with politicians. And Jaden Smith.

I'd love to see a movie like that, write the script and reach out to Colin Hanks.

Dunno, She-Puppets of Shanghai would be better than Battlefield Earth, which was the very last time John Travolta got a vanity project IIRC.
Hilarious, Thanks for the laughs.
I would pay to see Joe Pantoliano thrown into a ravine if he was wearing one of those kangol hats.
