15 Actors who are overshadowed by family members

13) Eric Lively – Overshadowed by his sister, Blake Lively

Trending

Eric Lively started acting before his sister Blake became a star. He landed roles in The Butterfly Effect and American Pie, but his career never gained much traction. Meanwhile, Blake’s rise with Gossip Girl and major films like The Age of Adaline made her a household name. Eric continued working, but his work remained limited to smaller roles and he stayed under the radar. Blake’s success in Hollywood and her high-profile marriage to Ryan Reynolds kept her in the spotlight. Eric’s career, in comparison, faded from view. Despite his early start, he’s still better known as Blake Lively’s older brother than for his own work.
