Jason and Kristopher Simmons

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jason "Jay" Patrick Simmons and Kristopher "Kris" Robert Simmons (born September 19, 2002 in Los Angeles , California ) are identical twin brothers who gained considerable notoriety through their role as Wyatt Matthew Halliwell in the hit series Charmed .

Life

Jason, the older of the two twin brothers, was born on September 19, 2002 at 6:22 pm to Maria and Robert Simmons in Los Angeles , California . His brother Kristopher was born just a minute after Jason. They also have a half-brother named Patrick who is six years their senior. Her mother Maria soon became a member of the Mothers Of Twins Club in California, whereby the two twin boys were booked by the producers of the hit television series Charmed before their first birthday . There the two boys would eventually take on the role of Wyatt Matthew Halliwell , the firstborn son of Piper Halliwell ( Holly Marie Combs ) and Leo Wyatt ( Brian Krause ), and came in the fifth season in the official cast of the series. When the series ended in 2006, the two twin boys appeared in exactly 50 different episodes.

In addition to their time in Charmed , the two brothers also worked in advertising. While the parents of the two were informed in the summer of 2003 that their two children were selected for a role in Charmed , the boys came to work for the baby food brand Cargill in the same year . Even after that, the two continued to be represented in the advertising sector, but so far (as of March 2011) they have not made any other notable appearances in a commercial. It was not until autumn 2007 that the two were booked again by various agencies as advertising characters or photo models. While Jason Simmons was seen as an advertising character in the print media for the packaging and toy manufacturing company Cranium in 2007, an engagement with Ralph Lauren followed in the same year , where he posed together with his twin brother for photos of this year's autumn / winter catalog. In 2008, Jason finally did another work with Hanna Andersson , for whose catalog he also acted as a photo model in a Halloween fashion line. Instead, his twin brother Kristopher acted as a photo model for the Disney group this year . They also got a role in Pushing Daisies that year , where they played the two 5-year-old boys Maurice and Ralston . In May 2013, they played the Castelli twins in the series How I Met Your Mother , who were met by Barney in laser tag.

Since the two boys have Ecuadorian roots through one of their parents, they grew up speaking Spanish as well as English .
