Douglas. Hanks. Sutherland. Eastwood. Iglesias. For older audiences, the names might conjure up images of Kirk, Tom, Donald, Clint, and Julio, while younger audiences might think of Michael, Colin, Kiefer, Scott, or Enrique. The father-son connections have made their marks on all genres of television, film, and music. Their ranks include rockers Bob and Jakob Dylan, Will Smith and his sons Trey and Jaden, and rapper Ice Cube and his actor son O'Shea Jackson Jr. In at least one case, the Van Peebles family, the entertainment gene spans multiple generations. Mario Van Peebles' father is actor Melvin Van Peebles and his son Mandela appeared in the 2016 miniseries Roots. In honor of Father's Day, the AP offers a look at father-son celebrities.
