He comes from an acting family.
There’s Oscar winning actor Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart, True Grit, The Big Lebowski) and his Golden Globe winning brother Beau Bridges. Their dad, Lloyd Bridges, had an acting career that spanned six decades.
Jeff stars in the new film Only the Brave and it came full circle for him. The movie is based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots and the 2013 Yarnell Fire. His character was the wildland division chief for the city of Prescott, Arizona. He also has a band named the Rusty Pistols. Jeff, also a musician in real life, had a scene where he performed with the actual Rusty Pistols and it was a to a song his dad used to sing him when he was a kid.
