Actress Angelina Jolie is known for being a talented actress, caring humanitarian and loving mother of six children. Some of her brood are now joining her and fiance Brad Pitt in the lucrative family business.

Pax, 8, and Zahara, 7, reportedly have been cast for the upcoming fantasy movie "Maleficent," which stars their mother, Us Weekly magazine reported. The couple's daughter, 4-year-old Vivienne, will also play a minor role opposite her mother in "Maleficent," as the child version of Princess Aurora.

"Maleficent," which also stars Sharlto Copley, Imelda Staunton, Miranda Richardson and Lesley Manville, is scheduled to hit theaters in March 2014.

But Pax, Vivienne and Zahara aren't the first Jolie-Pitt children to follow their famous parents' footsteps.

The first Jolie-Pitt child to grace the big screen was daughter Shiloh. She was 10 months old when she had a cameo role in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."

"It's kind of like take your sons and daughters to work day," Us Weekly's Bradley Jacobs told ABC News. "The kids are there on the set, you might as well put them to work. They can learn what it is like to make a movie."

In addition to Pax, Zahara, Shiloh and Vivienne, Jolie and Pitt also have sons Maddox, 11, and Knox, who is Vivienne's twin.
