While it is true that Fritz Leiber, Sr. was an actor, it is also true that
Fritz Leiber, Jr.'s son, Justin, has written sf.  He has at least one novel
alone and (I think) one novel written with his father.
   
I can't think of any other parent-child sf pairs, but there are quite a few
husband-wife pairs, with separate careers or in collaboration.  Off-hand:
   
   L. Sprague de Camp & Catherine de Camp
   Joan Vinge & Vernor Vinge
   Joan Vinge & Jim Frenkel (Bluejay Books)
   Spider & (once) Jeanne Robinson
   Betty & Ian Ballantine (Ballantine Books)
   Damon Knight & Kate Wilhelm
   Lisa Tuttle & Charles Platt (or whoever it was she married)
   C. L. Moore & Ed Hamilton   (ditto)
   Don & Elsie Wollheim (DAW Books.  Now daughter too)
   Paul & Genevieve Linebarger (as Cordwainer Smith.  About half were written
      by PMAL by himself, and half with his wife.)
   Carol Emshwiller & Ed Emshwiller (famous 50's artist as Emsh, now artsy
      filmmaker)
   Isaac Asimov & J. O. Jeppson (sp?) (this may not count, as it's not clear
      that her book would have been published had she not been married to him)
   me and my wife Leslye
     
Many other such couples, esp. from Clarion.  Please expand my list.
