You May Or May Not Know That Jeff Bridges Has An Actor-Brother
His name is Beau Bridges. He and Jeff played brothers in the film The Fabulous Baker Boys. I just watched him play a dress-wearing detective with a sex-change, on the Kyra Sedgewick series, The Closer.
Beau and Jeff’s father is Lloyd Bridges, also an actor. He, like his sons, has a lifelong, acting resume.
In the early ’60′s, he was the lead actor in a very successful TV series, called Sea Hunt.
I Believe This Boy Is A Very Young Jeff Bridges
I admit I am a bit happy that father, and actor, Lloyd Bridges instilled a sense of acting-integrity in his sons. Because it does show, in all of their work.
I am also very glad that he influenced at least one of them, to be very comfortable without a shirt, on camera.
I am have started an essay on The Acting Of Jeff Bridges, which will be posted on Hollywood Actor Prep this coming week. (Do you know about my other ‘internet jam’–called Hollywood Actor Prep? Click on the title to have it open in a fresh page.)
