In the Truman Show (1998), the identical twins are played by Ron and Don Taylor, two police officers who were working on the set as security guards. Director Peter Weir saw how friendly they were with the film's cast and crew, so he hired them as actors.

Something difficult to notice about The Truman Show is the extensive amount of CGI that it contains. Because they made the town look so artificial, the computer generated scenery blends in seamlessly even when the technology was not nearly as advanced as it is today.

I just saw this movie last night — it was more aggravating seeing it again as an adult versus when I was 9.

Those are my uncles! They volunteered or at least asked to be a part of the movie (as security guards) because I played 4 year old Truman and they were filming near where they lived!

Edit: Here is some photo proof-ish? A photo of the 3 of us at a local signing event after the premiere (maybe even at the premiere at our local movie theater), a photo of the fellas and their dates to the premiere, and then one of me with director Peter Weir

Edit2: Here is another couple of pictures of me with my uncles in other local news headlines. That seems to be the majority of what my mom saved lol.
