Each generation has its fair share of rising big-name acting talent but some monikers are definitely more familiar to movie fans than others. From Donald Sutherland to Kiefer Sutherland and Tom Hanks to Colin Hanks, there are names (and DNA) that have spanned generations. But is that automatic audience recognition a double-edged sword?

With Rumer Willis already onto her second big screen feature this year and Jaden Smith set to assume The Karate Kid mantle next year, we've listed some of the up-and-coming second generation thespians (and their famous familial connections) making themselves known. So we want to know - who do you think has the best shot at becoming a Hollywood star in their own right?
