Paul Dooley has good reason to be a proud papa -- both on- and off-screen. The 82-year-old veteran actor has made a career of playing the parent of Oscar-winning performers on TV and film, but it's his real-life family that really makes him beam. Dooley's daughter Savannah and his wife of 35 years, Winnie Holzman, are co-creators of "Huge." It's probably no coincidence that Dooley snagged a part in the new series as a mysterious cook.

His on-screen offspring include:

Mia Farrow, "A Wedding," 1978

Dennis Christopher, "Breaking Away," 1979

Molly Ringwald, "Sixteen Candles," 1984

Jon Cryer, "O.C. and Stiggs," 1985

Helen Hunt, "Mad About You," 1992-99

Philip Seymour Hoffman, "My Boyfriend's Back," 1993

Bess Armstrong, "My So-Called Life," 1994-95

Toni Collette, "Clockwatchers," 1997

Julia Roberts, "Runaway Bride," 1999

Christina Applegate, "Employee of the Month," 2004
