Following in the steps of Kurt Russell, Will Smith and Tom Hanks can probably feel impossible at times.

And though their sons Wyatt, Jaden and Colin (respectively) may have at some points tried to steer away from intertwining their careers with those of their legendary fathers, a few good projects presented themselves and we got to see these dynamic duos — and in some cases, trios — on-screen together.

Wyatt Russell and Kurt Russell attend the Apple TV+ new series "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" photo call on December 08, 2023 in West Hollywood, California.

Check out these father-and-son actors who’ve appeared in movies and series together through the years.

Though they’ve both been in the business for ages, Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell only recently worked together. This lookalike pair just finished playing the same character in the new Apple TV+ series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Part of the allure of that project was that they got to play the same character at different stages of his life, not father and son.

“We started hammering away at it and saying, ‘Let’s make this good!’ ” Kurt told Entertainment Tonight during a sit-down interview with Wyatt.

Wyatt echoed his dad’s sentiment saying, “[Playing] father and son is like low-hanging fruit. And we’ve never been people, genetically, who have gone for low-hanging fruit. It’s just never been interesting [for me], it’s never been interesting in his career.”

Actor and director Ben Stiller and his father, comedian and actor Jerry Stiller, attend party hosted by NBC at Sconset Playhouse during the Nantucket Film Festival on June 19, 1998 on Nantucket in Massachusetts.

Will Smith and son Jaden Smith famously appeared together in 2006’s The Pursuit of Happyness and delivered powerful performances that earned Will an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

Since then, they’ve collaborated on other artistic endeavors, including two films — 2010’s The Karate Kid (which Will and wife Jada Pinkett Smith produced) and After Earth in 2013. The two have also done some music together, with Will jumping on the remix of Jaden’s “Icon” in 2019 and then performing the song live at Coachella the same year.

Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller flexed their strong comedic genes on-screen several times. They first shared the screen back in 1987 when they played Victor and Chris Honeywell in Hot Pursuit. They continued to rack up the credits as Jerry appeared in Ben’s productions, including Zoolander, The Heartbreak Kid and Anchorman.

Ben also had a cameo on The King of Queens, playing his father during flashbacks of the show.
