Summary
When you work with child actors, finding the perfect person to stand-in for your characters can be challenging, but that’s where Kevin and Tracey Thompson came in! The legendary married couple served as stand-ins for the young actors on Boy Meets World, but that’s just a small part of their impressive resumés.
Kevin shares stories from the set of Blade Runner, and we hear all about his adventures as an Ewok in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, a subject Tracey wrote an entire book about.
The storied history of little people in Hollywood helped build the industry, but now it’s time to expand their presence on TV and in the movies. Kevin & Tracey have been at the forefront of this movement for decades, and now they bring their legacy to the new episode of Pod Meets World!
