Faces of Hall County: Miller and Charlie Kimsey

They may look alike, but they are far from being the same. Six year old twin brothers Charlie and Miller Kimsey are in kindergarten at Enota Elementary.  They are two of the four children of Mandy and Clay Kimsey, and they are movie stars.
 
Charlie and Miller were stars in “Fast and Furious 7” alongside Paul Walker and others. At the age of five, Charlie and Miller Kimsey were chosen out of the many twins that auditioned to play the role of Jack, Paul Walker’s son in the movie. Their mother, Mandy, was on Facebook one night and saw that her cousin had shared with her a post about auditions for this movie for the role of Paul Walker’s son. Mandy sent in a picture to the casting company just for fun and by 9 p.m. that same night, the directors messaged back that Charlie and Miller looked like the perfect fit and that they wanted to see them on video the next morning.
Not long after, the Kimsey family packed up and flew the boys to California to film for a total of two weeks. The twins filmed with actors and actresses such as Vin Diesel, Chris Bridges (aka: Ludacris), Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Paul Walker, Caleb Walker, Cody Walker, John Brotherton from “Fuller House,” and Nathalie Emmanuel who has become a friend of the family, going with them to the zoo, hiking and teaching them about English tea.
Charlie and Miller got the honor to meet and become friends with actor Paul Walker before he died. Charlie’s favorite scene that he was filmed in was when he was in the car that blew up, and Miller’s favorite scene getting to film with Jordana on the beach.
“The boys had a major crush on her!,” said Mandy.
Outside of filming, Charlie enjoys playing football in the yard with his dad, watching football and going to computer class at school. Miller enjoys wrestling with his dad and watching football with his siblings.
