11. A Little Twin History (Part 11 of 34)

Matthew and Jared Young have always enjoyed making things. As twins, it’s hardly a surprise that they make a pretty good team. Back in the first grade, they won a county-wide milk cart stacking competition. Of course, this was mainly due to the other team’s tower falling over at the last minute. Still, a win’s a win.

Matthew and Jared build a milk carton tower.

Both attended the University of Georgia, and - coincidentally - both fell in love with acting in the fall of their senior year. They had gotten the “bug,” so to speak. Sadly, college was coming to an end, and it was time for them to enter the “real world.”

Luckily for everyone concerned, the twins decided to forgo the corporate thing and continue painting houses until something more interesting presented itself.

“It’s called Youtube, and you can just put videos on it,” Jared says to his brother.

“And people watch them?” replies Matthew.

“Theoretically,” Jared concludes.

Always creatively restless, the brothers found a public outlet for even their wildest whims. So, for the next few years, they painted houses while also making videos for various characters they created, specifically Bill and Charles Peterson (Warning: you can still find these on Youtube).

But as the years went by, the two started to see more and more bills coming in the mail every month. And so when commercial video work called, the twins answered.

10 years later, the phone is ringing again. Once again, the twins will answer.
