 Nicholas Brendon has an identical twin brother called Kelly, who is often mistaken for Nick by fans. Kelly has done stunt work on Alias and played Jacob in MTV’s Undressed. Kelly doubled for Nick in the episode The Replacement, when Xander was split in two. Nicholas mostly played both characters but Kelly was used as a double, and had a bit of dialogue when the two were in the same frame. “Truth be told, I played both characters [in The Replacement]. It was very challenging and rewarding and I must’ve done an OK job if you couldn’t tell it was me. … I had a blast working with Kelly and he really deserves kudos for his work. He was never promised on-screen dialogue but they did end up using some and I think he did a stand-up job. In fact there was even one point where Kelly, Tressa and I had to rewind and freeze the tape to decipher who was who, (standing side by side, Kelly as “Cool Xander” did a stellar job of imitating my signature blinky eyes).” |

How come they have different last names?? Oh, maybe they’re half brothers.

Oh my god….I cannot believe that I just wrote that. I just reread that and smacked myself. That is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever thought. Please wipe that from your memory. Oh god…..

OK…no tears, MB…you are officially and completely absolved…*under his breath…”crybaby…”*

..though, MB, the more you think about it, identical twins truly ARE half-brothers, in that they come from one egg, that splits in HALF….

I think it’s funny, magicbone, just like your screename! So why do they have different last names? Did Nick take a screen name of his own? Curious…

Acdording to somewhere, Nick’s last name is Schultz but he uses his middle name Brendon as his last name. Maybe his brother did that too.

Yes, they both use their middle names as last names. They must really hate their real last name? Or maybe they just think it’s easier to get jobs with more American sounding names.
