While John Cusack is incredibly private when it comes to his personal life, his prominent family tree more than makes up for it.
The Golden Globe-nominated actor, who turned 60 on June 28, has Hollywood in his blood, not only the son of a prominent Hollywood actor and writer, but also has four other siblings who are in the entertainment industry.
The last name "Cusack" should be enough of a tip off, but read on below to learn more about the High Fidelity star's famous family members…
Richard John "Dick" Cusack first began his career as an advertising executive before pivoting into acting. However, his first acting role didn't come until 1980's My Bodyguard, the same year his son John made his own debut in a short film.
