Rory, 13, who plays Gibson's son in the sci-fi blockbuster Signs, sits down for lunch at a fancy Manhattan restaurant and promptly chugs a can of Red Bull energy drink. He then asks his mother to leave, sticks the lemon wedge from her Coke in his mouth and assumes an amiable but bored expression. Interviews, he makes clear, are not scary. Not much seems to intimidate Rory, including his brothers' careers. He says it's a nonissue that they're in the same business: "We don't talk about it. We talk like any other brothers would...
