#5 Charles Dickens & Harry Lloyd
Ever read Oliver Twist, one of Charles Dickens’ bestselling novels about an orphan that was sold into apprenticeship with an undertaker? He’s on this list because his great-great-great grandson is Harry Lloyd, an actor best known for his role as Will Scarlet in BBC’s 2006 drama Robin Hood and Viserys Targaryen of Game of Thrones. Lloyd debuted as an actor at the age of 16 by playing James Steerforth in the 1999 David Copperfield.
