Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Grant Goodeve was starring in 'Eight Is Enough' when this filmed; the twin role was clearly a 'serious actor' pivot that didn't stick.
This sits in the forgotten 1988 twin-thriller boom alongside 'Dead Ringers' and 'Twins'—Hollywood had a VERY specific obsession that year.
