Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~gyllenhaalsromcom_7746~~gyllenhaalsromcom 7746.jpg\|frame\|Don't worry, it's just [[Cracked.com\|photoplasty]].]] The rarer and far grosser flipside to [[Cast Incest]], where people who are [[Real Life Relative~~\|Real Life Relatives~~]]s have to play romantic partners. This scenario is more common in community and [[High School]] theater productions where there is a limited pool of actors to choose from; while [[Executive Meddling\|producers may be manipulative and hate filled]], they aren't invulnerable to [[Squick]]. It also happens a bit in figure skating. {{examples}} == Anime == * In the [[~~Lat~~Latin AmAmerica]] (re)dub of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion\|Revival of Evangelion]]'', Shinji is voiced by Victor Ugarte, and due to [[Executive Meddling]], the voice of Rei is replaced by Gaby Ugarte. Which becomes rather awkward during that scene where Shinji enters Rei's room just after she's finished bathing. * ''[[Robotech]]''{{'}}s [[Unholy Matrimony\|Khyron and Azonia]], played by Greg Snegoff and his mother Alexandra Kenworthy. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 26 ⟶ 25: * [[In the Blood\|Real-life porn stars]] Britney and Whitney Stevens typically tease this trope in the near-dozen scenes they've done together by casually going as far as "Second Base" and nothing further...on-camera, but once admitted they got drunk enough ''off-camera'' to go all the way with each other. [[Angst? What Angst?\|Didn't bother them that much, just reminding themselves to drink a bit more responsibly.]] * In the Finnish dub of ''[[Toy Story 3]]'', Barbie and Ken are played by siblings Krisse and Eppu Salminen. * Averted at the last minute with ''[[Bonnie and Clyde]]'': Warren Beatty initially cast [[Shirley MacLaine]] as Bonnie, but replaced her when he opted to play Clyde himself. The reason? He didn't want to have to kiss his sister. (Yes, they're ~~siblings -- in~~siblings—in ''this'' life.) * ''[[Manos: The Hands of Fate\|Manos the Hands of Fate]]'''s infamous ending gets even worse when you remember that The Master and Debbie are played by real life father and daughter. * ''[[Hocus Pocus]]'': "The Master" ~~-- no~~—no, not the same Master as the one in the example ~~above -- and~~above—and his bickering wife are played by brother and sister Garry and Penny Marshall in uncredited roles. == [[Literature]] == * In-universe. Inin "''[[The Family Fang]],"'' the siblings who play romantic leads together are rightfully horrified when they find out ~~there~~their parents set this up. It's . . . complicated. == [[Live Action TV]] == Line 45 ⟶ 44: * In ''Parralax'', the Martin Dunkly from Ben's World (Kasmir Sas) is frequently hitting on the Melinda (Francoise Sas)from Ben's world (and occasionally the one from Katherine's world, when he mistakes her for the Melinda from Ben's world) and trying to get together with her. The two are brother and sister in real life. * Frank Sinatra, Jr., appeared in an episode of ''Adam-12" as a police officer seeking the affections of an unrelated woman played by his sister Tina Sinatra. * Weird sort-of example from ''[[Degrassi]]'': Craig's little sister is played by Alex Steele. Alex is the real-life sister of Cassie Steele, who plays Manny. Thus, some viewers were [[~~Squick\|squicked~~squick]]ed when Craig and Manny started hooking up. ** Lampshaded in a season two episode when Craig and Manny have their first date and Craig later says Manny reminds him of his little sister. Line 56 ⟶ 55: * In the Gothenburg concert version of ''[[Chess (theatre)\|Chess]]'', Freddie's and Florence's actors are brother and sister. Granted, [[No Accounting for Taste\|most of what Freddie and Florence do onstage is argue]], but still... * Historically, commedia dell'arte (Italian comedy) troupes were often families, so the Lovers could be played by brother and sister. * [[Fred Astaire]] and his sister Adele played romantic ~~rolls~~roles opposite each other for many years in stage musicals. When his sister, who was more popular, quit to get married he worried his career would be over. Of course, history had another medium for him to become famous in. == [[Toys]] == * [[Barbie]] and Ken are often regarded as the perfect couple. So long as one doesn't dwell on the fact that the businesswoman who designed the first dolls (Mattel president [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Handler Ruth Handler,] way back in 1959) used her own daughter and son as models. == [[Web Original]] == * In the ''[[Hillywood Show]]''{{'}}s [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfqTKt9RtNw Dark Knight video], [[The Joker]] and his girl Harley Quinn are played by real-life sisters Hilly and Hanna Hindi. Yes, that's right. The Joker is a [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] and she nearly makes out with her sister. == [[Western Animation]] == Line 65 ⟶ 67: ** And on ''[[American Dad]]'', Seth plays Bill, Stan Smith's body double, and Rachael plays Stan's daughter Hailey. Guess who hook up in one episode ... And then it gets grosser when Stan finds out and has to replace Bill on a camping trip with Hailey. But don't worry- nothing happens. * In-universe example: In ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'', siblings Katara and Sokka are able to visit a school in the Fire Nation by posing as a married couple, Wang and Sapphire Fire. And to add to the subtext, Katara's disguise makes her look heavily pregnant. ([[Fridge Logic\|One wonders]] where she found the stuffing. [[What the Hell, Hero?\|More clothesline raids?]]) * In-universe in ''[[Doug]]''~~--Doug~~—Doug got a role in a school play opposite his crush, Patty. Instead Patty had to drop out for some reason, forcing Doug's sister Judy to take the role. * The Italian dub of ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' has Heather and Trent voiced by Monica Ward and her son, Alessandro. They kissed in the episode "Search And Do Not Destroy". {{reflist}} [[Category:Incest ~~Is Relative~~Tropes]] [[Category:Trivia Trope]] [[Category:Characters and Casting]] [[Category:~~Incestuous Casting~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
