Tori Spelling in 90210. The series sucked arse, but shoe Horning in the directors daughter is just nepotism.

Pretty sure nepotism is mandatory for the entertainment industry.

The show runner for Mad Men cast his own son as 'Glen', and that kid was a terrible actor (he's an adult now obvs, so I consider his performance fair game for criticism).

Why wouldn't a kid's performance be fair to criticize? It's not like we're harassing them on social media.

It's usually best to given 'em the benefit of the doubt, as a bad performance by a child actor is often more due to the director than the kid.
