>Astin was born in Santa Monica, California, the son of actress Patty Duke (1946–2016).[2][3][4] At the time, it was reported that entertainer Desi Arnaz, Jr. was his biological father. When Michael Tell, a writer, music promoter and publisher of the newspaper The Las Vegas Israelite, came to sublet her apartment and offered to marry her as a way out of the scandal, Duke agreed. The marriage lasted only 13 days in 1970, and ended long before Astin was born.[5][6][7]
>On August 5, 1972, Duke married actor John Astin, after having been in a relationship with him for two years. When the wedding guests were invited to speak, 18-month-old Astin looked at John and cried, "Daddy!", to which the Episcopal priest performing the ceremony remarked, "Well, that about does it!"[8] Astin subsequently adopted Sean. In 1973, Duke gave birth to Astin's brother, Mackenzie Astin, who also became an actor. Duke and John Astin divorced in 1985.[9] Duke married Mike Pearce in 1986,[5] and they adopted a son, Kevin, in 1989.[9]
>When he was 14, Duke told Astin that Arnaz was his father, and the two developed a relationship. However, in his mid-20s, Astin met a relative of Michael Tell who suggested they were related. Sean set out to find the truth about his biological father, and underwent genetic tests which showed Tell was his biological father.[10] Astin maintains close relationships with all three men, saying, "Desi Arnaz Jr. loves me, and I love him. We are so close...Science tells me...that he's not my biological father. Science tells me that Mike Tell is." Astin considers John his father, as John was the one who raised him. Astin is also close to his stepfather, Mike Pearce, saying, "I can call any of them on the phone any time I want to," says Sean. "John, Desi, Mike or Papa Mike...my four dads."[5]

>>79516048
he's supposed to be a really shitty control freak, you see a bit of it in the making of movies but the sort of funny side of it.
>>79516048
He wrote a book where he shat on the cast afterwards. Whenever there's a convention, he's the only actor who doesn't show up.

You can just tell too from how the other actors react to him. They never want to hang out with him and he's never there when they get together
>>79516484
His actual dad married his actual mom as a joke because he didn't think he was his actual dad, but his "dad" wasn't really his dad and then he had another dad, thus 4 dads.

Rhys didn't get the tattoo, right?
Astin got it?
>>79517225
>John Rhys Davies, who played Gimli, actually had his stunt double receive the tattoo instead. He shared, "The elvish tattoo was designed but, as I am a professional actor, whenever there’s anything dangerous or that involves blood, I sent my stunt double to do it."
