The 'Parenthood' Cast's Real-Life Family Ties!

NBC

Adam Braverman
(PETER KRAUSE)

The Braverman's first-born is a dependable, family-oriented guy -- played by Six Feet Under star Peter Krause, 45 -- but his self-assured affect masks an anxious determination to have a "normal" family. On a daily basis, he faces constant boundary-testing (with his teenaged daughter) and behavior issues (with his 8-year-old son, who has Asperger's Syndrome). As for Krause's domestic life, the Minnesota native is raising his 9-year-old son, Roman, who he had with ex-girlfriend Christine King.
