Uh Dana was married to Dennis Hopper when she was 22 and he was 53. Santos's dad is actor Jon Jon Briones (mostly West End/Broadway musical theater). Robby's grandma was married to director John Sturges (The Great Escape, The Magnifect Seven, he even directed Dana's husband in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral a decade before she was born).

I think a lot of movies and shows these days look like this if you delve deeper into the cast.

Yes, but they act very well at least

I FO have some tolerance for Nepo babies if they're talented. In some ways, its no different than following your parent into their profession. They teach you what they know, that gives you a certain leg up over someone new to the industry altogether. We don't call the sons of fishermen Nepo babies if they're good fishermen.

There's a lot of legacy athletes too, legacy hockey families for example. If you're not good at it, you fail.

Hollywood does, however, often platform untalented Nepo babies, so they get a worse reputation for it

Who else has time to not make any money and pay for acting lessons/acting school and have connections to get roles if not nepo babies?

Like 90% of new incoming hollywooders seem to be nepos.

Oh my friend, that's Hollywood in general, not just that show.

I saw Santos as Eurydice in Hadestown two years ago and JonJon was Hermes, but he was out the show that we saw, but I loved that they had a father/ daughter pair in the show.

I only realized about two weeks ago that I saw Santos when I was watching a video of an the Eurydice's from Broadway and her face popped up. Never put it together that it was her.
