Before Richard Jenkins became a Hollywood icon, he was just a young guy delivering linens in Chicago. His boss? None other than John Reilly Sr.—father of a little boy who would grow up to be Step Brothers star John C. Reilly. In an incredible twist of fate, Jenkins would later play Reilly’s actual dad on screen in the 2008 comedy classic.

Jenkins vividly remembers meeting a 4-year-old John C. Reilly when his father brought him to work. At the time, neither of them could have imagined they’d reunite decades later—this time in Hollywood, sharing the screen as one of comedy’s most iconic dysfunctional families.

Just four years after that chance meeting, Jenkins made his TV debut as a sheriff on Great Performances, setting off a legendary acting career that would later earn him Oscar nominations for The Visitor and The Shape of Water.

This mind-blowing connection between Jenkins and Reilly proves that Hollywood is smaller than you think—and that fate has a funny way of bringing people back together.
