Of all the under-30 nepo babies in the film/television industry right now, I think Sam Nivola is one of the most talented. He’s the son of actors Emily Mortimer and Alessandro Nivola. While Sam didn’t get his earliest roles because of his parents, he doesn’t actually acknowledge that he certainly has a leg up in the industry. That being said, he’s actually been an auditioning-and-jobbing actor for years. He’s had a huge breakthrough in the past year, first with the campy ensemble drama The Perfect Couple (he played Nicole Kidman’s youngest kid) and then he played the youngest child of Parker Posey and Jason Isaacs’ couple in The White Lotus. Sam is going to be booking tons of jobs off of his star turn in TWL. I think he was robbed of an Emmy nomination honestly – the only reason he didn’t
