While Scarlett has taken Hollywood by storm, twin brother Hunter has been working hard in politics and community-led projects.
Hunter has a couple acting credits to his name, including Manny & Lo, which starred his twin sister. But he later decided acting wasn’t for him.
In 2008, he worked on former President Barack Obama’s campaign and re-election. He also has experience as a community organizer for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.

“If there is a truly altruistic person I know in my life, it’s my brother.
He reminds me to be a better person all the time. I’m incredibly proud of him.”
Famous Sister
While Adrian has managed to forge a decent stint in Hollywood, sister Scarlett has gone on to be one of the most in-demand actresses on the planet.
After Adrian was signed by an agent when Scarlett was just a child, she became more determined than ever to become an actress. She then enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute and began auditioning for commercials, but soon lost interest.
Shifting her focus to film and theatre, Scarlett then started studying at Professional Children’s School (PCS), a private educational institution for aspiring child actors in Manhattan.
At nine years old she scored her first film debut as John Ritter’s daughter in the film North. Scarlett continued to score bit parts during the early 1990s until she landed a role in Robert Redford’s The Horse Whisper in 1998.
