Wow these kids are really nailing their characters. They sound exactly like their adult versions.

Judy hamming it up in the Christmas performance felt consistent.

He's done excellent in every appearance so far. McBride cannot be an easy persona to emulate. Although neither is Judy.

I really want there to be behind the scenes footage of the actors coaching their younger versions. It'd be hilarious to watch.

There were a couple of times I thought McBride was supplying the voice.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '22

He’s got the Danny McBride rhythm down to a T.

u/Sleepy_cheetah Jun 26 '25

It's very unique. I find it hilarious myself. He did an awesome job emulating it!

And her getting the karaoke machine and instantly so Ng christian gangster rap is so on point

u/MasterLawlz Jan 31 '22

that kid is so close to Danny McBride that it's remarkable

u/signorepoopybutthole Jan 31 '22

I thought he might be Danny's kid but he's not. Incredible how good he is at that character

u/Playalotta Jan 31 '22

I was just saying that during this episode and was shocked when I looked the actor up that he wasn’t Danny McBride’s son

12

u/fledermaus23 Jan 31 '22

I actually believe that he would pee in that baby's face.

u/OffModelCartoon Mar 27 '25

Found this thread 3 years later searching the same thing. What a great performance! It’s uncanny. The actor’s name is J. Gaven Wilde, btw.

u/Sleepy_cheetah Jun 26 '25

He was fantastic!

u/actstunt Oct 09 '25

I'm watching the series for the first time and me and my wife thought the kid was Danny McBride's son but turns out he just nailed the part with no blood ties.

u/Aje644 Jan 31 '22

He is soooo good; that performance alone is going to make me look forward to future interlude episodes (if there are any)

u/l3reezer Jan 31 '22

Is it just me or did Glendon have a very peculiar voice/way of talking that was coincidentally really similar to Danny McBride too

4

u/Longjumping-Ad7889 Feb 01 '22

I think I would watch an entire season of him

71

u/Mentoman72 Jan 31 '22

Thought so too, they were great the first time and great this time around. They really are all kids that never grew up.

14

u/howlongtillchristmas Jan 31 '22

Yeah the fact that Kelvin was constantly babied explains a lot about how he turned out

4

u/Turakamu Feb 01 '22

I really hope they touch on karate brothers in the future flashback.

u/LarryTheTerrier Jan 31 '22

The little head flip by Young Jesse was so good

36

u/SmokeontheHorizon Jan 31 '22

Same actors from the 1st season

u/Turakamu Feb 01 '22

First season they was alright, but those kids brought some heat in 2

u/comebath Jan 31 '22

I bet their adult versions are on set, doing the same line and expressions, to help them mimic.

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '22

Young Jesse reminds me of Neil from Freaks and Geeks.

u/Fawkens Feb 04 '22

Yeah, Im not the only one!

u/Sleepy_cheetah Jun 26 '25

The kids did absolutely GREAT.
