Some famous siblings have worked together on TV shows, in movies, or for musical collaborations.
Brothers Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse grew up in the spotlight together with their roles on Disney Channel's "Suite Life of Zack and Cody."

Growing up with a relative in the spotlight can lead some family members to follow in each other's footsteps. While some family members try to avoid working together, like brothers Dave and James Franco for a while, others, like John and Joan Cusack, have teamed up multiple times.

Here are 31 sets of celebrity siblings who have worked together.
