Belushi's Relative Theory
The Belushi's Relative Theory is when celebrity relatives try to ride their famous family members coat tails to success. Shameful actors who follow such the Belushi Relative theory (Though James Belushi is the best example) are Chad Lowe, Mike Norris, Don Swayze, Chad McQueen, Frank Stallone, Joey Travolta, Lorenzo Lamas, Donnie Wahlberg, Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen.
Sometimes movie makers trick the viewer as they did in the film Death Ring, by plastering the names NORRIS, MCQUEEN, SWAYZE and Billy Drago. Unfortunately the sad renter of said film was to realize that it starred Mike (Not Chuck), Chad (Instead of Steve), and Don (which I know you're sad about, instead of Patrick).
If you recognize the last name, but have never heard of the first..... welcome to Belushi's Relative Theory.

I am a sad, tragic owner of the sad, tragic film that is / was Death Ring. I bought it purely because of the cover, with the kin of 3 major celebrities with their faces badly airbrushed into artificial shadow. The best thing about the film is Swayze's performance, as the poor chap looks like he's about to shit his underpants at any moment - not because his character is afraid, but because all those cameras and lights really, really scare him.
They should have used midgets instead.
On an unrelated note, the blazing film career of 'Wee Man' Acuna is way overdue. The man is a legend.
