Amir/Amari O’Neil
Family Ties
They were born in 2006 in Jacksonville, Florida, to father, Donald O’Neil and mother, Erica Gause-O’Neil.
Erica, who is said to be a real estate agent, has been their true force since the start of their careers.
A religious woman and follower of Jesus Christ, she implanted a sense of wisdom and knowledge within them.
The boys were asked to memorize poems, share happiness, and show respect to everyone.
Not only that, Erica trained the boys and helped them land their first movie role.
When they went on their very first audition for the lead role of Michael in the movie “White Water” (2015), they landed the role with no training and only coaching from their mother.
Growing up with seven siblings, the pair would entertain them and their parents ever since they were young.
In fact, the fun and antics inspired by shows on Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel eventually led them to pursue a career in acting.
At the age of three years, the twins first expressed an interest in acting.
Their interest turned into professional work when they were signed by The Savage Agency, one of Hollywood’s most successful youth talent agencies.
In 2014, Amir and Amari quickly booked a starring appearance together in a nationally broadcast commercial for Walmart.
Hence, a year later, the O’Neil family relocated to Southern California to provide better opportunities for the twins, and the rest is history.
