In the late 80's and early 90's, brothers Sean and Mackenzie Astin's smiling faces were seen all through the teen magazines. Their mother, Patty Duke is a well known actress known for her various tv roles as well as her battles with mental health issues and work with the Screen Actors Guild.
I was in my early teens at the time and remember crushing over MacKenzie when he was on 'The Facts Of Life' and Sean in 'Toy Soldiers'. The Astin brothers had and have two of the most adorable faces, Mackenzie's father is actor John Astin (The Adams Family) and Sean's dad is music promoter and writer Michael Tell although it was once rumored his dad was Desi Arnaz Jr who he most certainly resembles.
Both Mackenzie and Sean have worked steadily since their time as teen idols. Sean most recently appeared on tv's 24 and of course his time in The Lord Of The Rings saga. Mackenzie has been seen the last several years on tv shows such as Lost, House, Psych and My Name is Earl.
