Sean Murray Has 8 Siblings and Some of Them Are Actors Too

Sean Murray's siblings are mostly made up of actors and producers who have made a name for themselves in Hollywood, particularly on the CBS network. They are eight siblings, including a lead character from "Pretty Little Liars."

In 1977, Maryland gained a future television star, Sean Murray. His parents are Craig Harland Murray and Vivienne Lee, who adopted Bellisario as her last name when she married for the second time. Sean has one biological brother, and a lot changed in their family tree after their parents split.

Sean is a prominent face on television and has been for a long time. The 44-year-old is recognized for playing special agent Timothy McGee since 2003 in the CBS crime series, "NCIS." His family has an excellent old grip on CBS production, where a surprising amount of his siblings are credited for producing and acting.

When Sean was a young boy, he spent a lot of time traveling around the world with his Navy Captain father. Sean lived in multiple states in America and various countries, including Australia and England, before his parents split in 1992.

After their divorce, Sean's mother, Vivienne, married Hollywood star producer and writer Donald P. Bellisario. Through his mother's new marriage, Sean and his brother became two siblings among eight, with a combination of half and stepsiblings.

Unlike what you will learn about most of his siblings, Sean did not make it into acting through his stepfather. The 44-year-old got his big break in the nineties when he starred in the 90's film, "Hocus Pocus," and since then, it has only been up.

Chad W. Murray

Chad W. Murray is Sean's younger brother. The "NCIS: Los Angeles" producer is Sean's biological brother from parents Vivienne and Craig Murray. On June 7, 2008, Chad married Hailey Baldwin, and the couple remains committed to this day.

Chad's production credits date back to 2009, when he started as an associate producer on "NCIS." While wrapping up his 35th episode in 2011 and working on the new "NCIS: Los Angeles," he branched out to "King & Maxwell" in 2013 and was credited as the producer of "Exiles" within the same year.

Chad produced two more films between 2013 and 2017, "Noir" in 2015; he also has a co-production credit for "Feed" in 2017. As it is, he is still a part of the "NCIS" production team.

David Scott Bellisario

Sean's half-bother David Scott Bellisario was born in a small medical center in Mojave, California, on July 18, 1957. His younger years were spent in Pennsylvania and Texas. David grew up with a very imaginative mind; he enjoyed learning about dinosaurs, fairy tales, and pirate adventures.

This desire to discover the obscure turned him into a bookworm who was always keen to read science fiction, literature, and history. David grew fond of motorbikes and embarked on a journey of self-discovery across the states. The stories that he returned with were deemed legendary by those around him.

Upon returning, David prepared himself to work with his father in production, determined to prove his worth. This decision sparked the beginning of his career. From being a production assistant on "Magnum P.I.," he quickly worked his way up and became a full producer for "Quantum Leap," "JAG," "NCIS," and "NCIS: Los Angeles."

David met the woman he married, Alberta Benson, in January 1985. The producer, who had two sons, Anthony and Peter, with his wife, sadly succumbed to brain cancer on July 24, 2020, at 63.

Julie B. Watson

Julie B. Watson was born Julie Bellisario in 1964. She is the daughter of Margaret Schaffrean and Sean's stepfather, Donald. Julie, who was also an actress on "JAG," "Quantum Leap," and "NCIS," is Sean Murray's older stepsister and David's biological sister.

Julie is a lover of art who once visited the Getty Center for an exhibition. Julie has her fingerprint on many productions, including a 2011 science fiction film, "Dimensions." Julie spent many years as a producer on the shows above.

Michael Bellisario

Michael Angelo Bellisario was born in Los Angeles County, California, on April 7, 1980. He is a producer widely recognized for his production contributions in "Grandma's Boy," a 2006 comedy about a game tester who experiences a frenzy after he moves in with his grandmother.

Michael is also known for his ten-year run as a producer on "JAG," and like most of his siblings, Michael has producer credits on "NCIS" between the years 2003 and 2005.

He is the son of Donald and actress Lynn Halpern. He is also a half-sibling of David and Julie; they share the same father. Although he never hit the heights of fame, Michael has lots of acting experience. He starred in "The Rise" and "Last Night On Earth."

Troian Bellisario

Troian Bellisario, born on October 28, 1985, made her acting debut at the tender age of three. She is the first child Donald shares with film director Deborah Pratt; they were married from 1984 to 1991. Troian has one brother, Nicholas Bellisario, and her half-siblings are Michael, David, and Julie.

Her debut was in the 1988 film, "Last Rites," and when Troian was four, her father wrote and named a "Quantum Leap" episode in her honor. Troian, who became a University of Southern California alumni, was featured in many of her father's projects throughout her teenage years.

Before clinching fame through her role as Spencer in "Pretty Little Liars," Troian experienced some life-threatening hardships. She was a victim of self-harm and suffered from an eating disorder. Her worries were not limited to that, as she felt pressure from the opportunities she gained through her father. She said:

"I had the opportunities, and I took them for the experience. I was always aware of the nepotism. I didn't feel respect on the set. I didn't focus on what I was doing. I focused on, 'These people think I'm only here for one reason, because of my dad.' I didn't like it."

Troian is married with children. Her husband is the 41-year-old Canadian actor Patrick Johannes Adams, best recognized for playing Mike Ross in USA Network's legal drama television series, "Suits."

After tying the knot with her husband on December 10, 2016, Troian went on to have two daughters: Aurora in October 2018 and Elliot in May 2021.

Nicholas Bellisario

Nicholas, as mentioned before, is Troian's only fully biological brother and the second child of Donald and Deborah. He was born Nicholas Dante Roberto Bellisario in LA on August 26, 1991. He is the half-brother of Michael, David, and Julie; and the stepbrother of Sean and Chad.

Nicholas made his acting debut in the Deborah Pratt production "Girlfriends" in 1997 alongside his older sister, Troian. He followed up his first big screen appearance in 2002 when he featured in the TV series "First Monday" as the young Joseph Novelli and appeared in an episode of "JAG" the following year.

Sean's family has their roots planted in Hollywood, specifically screen acting and producing. However, not all of his siblings are involved in filmmaking; some live a comparatively regular life.

He has two stepsisters who have not taken an interest in creating a reputation around the camera. They are Joy Jenkins, married to Keeter Jenkins, and Leslie Ingham, married to Jim Ingham.
