DYN: Twins play Jamie!

I have found out today while reading some FOX press releases for Malcolm in the Middle Season Seven episodes that Jamie is infact played by a set of identical twins. Whether this is the same Jamie as last season, we shall have to find out soon! The two boys are James Rodriguez and Lukas Rodriguez. This I assume is to make life easier for the crew so when one gets bored or news a sleep there is a second "Jamie" on hand! :D

It most likely is - they have done this with other shows too. It is definitely a great idea.

It's very common to use twins to play just one child. Sunny Baudelaire and Michelle of Full House were also played by twins

A lot of the time the young kids are played by twins because of the hours they are allowed to work. So with twins you can have double the time :)

Thanks for letting us know admin. Nearly all TV shows in which a character one of the characters is a baby, the character is played by twins or triplets. This is done for a variety of reasons. Legal amount of time a child actor can work, including babies. When on of the babies is tired or hungry, the other can step right in and pick up where the other left off, thus reducing down time during filming where time is money.
