Bill Pullman may be a household name in Hollywood, but his son, Lewis Pullman, is quickly making a name for himself in the industry. Bill, at 72, has an extensive and diverse resume that includes iconic films like Spaceballs, While You Were Sleeping, The Accidental Tourist, and Independence Day. Not only is he a seasoned theater actor, but his most cherished role seems to be that of a devoted father, as he recently graced the red carpet at CinemaCon with his son, Lewis. The father-son duo, set to star alongside each other in the upcoming sequel to Spaceballs titled Spaceballs: The New One, were joined by original castmates Rick Moranis and Daphne Zuniga.
The striking resemblance between Bill and Lewis is hard to miss, clearly showcasing that talent and good looks run in the family. Lewis, reminiscing about his childhood, recalled how fans would always approach his father when they were out together, unaware of just how exceptional a father Bill truly is. As Lewis ventured into acting himself, he gained a deeper appreciation for his father’s talent, especially referencing Bill’s memorable role as the President of the United States in Independence Day.
Bill’s upcoming projects include the highly anticipated Spaceballs sequel, set to hit theaters in April 2027, as well as an appearance in the Duffer Brothers’ forthcoming Netflix series The Boroughs. The supernatural mystery series follows a group of unconventional heroes in a seemingly picturesque retirement community as they band together to combat an otherworldly threat, all while trying to protect their most precious commodity: time. The star-studded cast also includes Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Clarke Peters, and Denis O’Hare.
The undeniable chemistry between Bill and Lewis Pullman is a testament to their shared passion for acting and dedication to their craft. As Lewis continues to carve out his own path in the industry, it’s clear that talent and charisma run deep in the Pullman family.
