Alec Baldwin's daughter Ireland should ditch her dreams to be a veterinarian and follow her famous family into showbiz - according to her actor uncle Daniel.
The 13 year old - Baldwin's daughter with actress Kim Basinger - has so far resisted the temptation to pursue acting roles or modelling work, insisting she wants to turn her back on the film industry and devote her life to animals.
But Mulholland Falls star Daniel Baldwin is urging his niece to embrace her Hollywood heritage, telling People magazine, "She certainly has the looks to go into the business. She is very bright and the world is her oyster."
The Baldwin's are one of cinema's most famous acting families but it was Alec that got the ball rolling.
After studying at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute Alec kicked off his acting career, making his Broadway debut in 1986, his other brothers Daniel, William and Stephen all followd him into acting.
Ireland is Alec's only child with his former wife Kim Basinger. The pair married in 1993 and Ireland was born two years later.
The pair filed for divorce in January 2001, but it was only finalised in February 2002.
