Jason London Vs Jeremy London

You know them - twin brothers who have been in at least ONE program that you've seen (unless you read books and don't bother with a medium called motion pictures).

The ONE program you would have seen Jason London:
---Dazed & Confused (1993)---

The ONE program you would have seen Jeremy London:
---Party of Five (TV Series)---
or
---Mallrats (film)---**if you don't watch TV**

Which of the brothers do you like best?

Question: why did Jason get chosen over Jeremy for "Dazed & Confused?"
Why did Jeremy get chosen over Jason for "Mallrats," considering Jason was a bigger star in 1995?

I know there's two of them but as far as I'm concerned they're the same person. I honestly can't tell the difference.

Jason was decent in "Dazed and Confused".

Jeremy was not decent in "Mallrats".

I'm gonna have to side with Jason on this one.

I really didn't find Jeremy to be *THAT* bad in "Mallrats, but it was Brodie's movie.

T.S. was just his sidekick.

I'm going with Randal 'Pink' Floyd on this one. Jason seems more laid back, while Jeremy seems wound-up.

Jason London was in both The Man in the Moon and Dazed and Confused. He wins.

I didn't realize there were 2 of them .

I guess I'm only familiar with Jeremy from PoF and Mallrats. I didn't mind him in PoF but in Mallrats he was just barely passable. Could've been the dialogue too...

Jason was in Out Cold* and Jason and the Argonauts [Hallmark Mini-series], so he wins.


* Highly Recommended!!!

I thought Jeremy admitted he was smoking pot or something around the time he was in "Mallrats".

I swear he said that somewhere on the new "Mallrats" DVD....unless i'm mistaken.

I like them both, but Jeremy was in the series "Angel Falls" (1993), which I loved.

I just noticed at imdb that although Jason starred in "The Man in the Moon", it was Jeremy who gets credited for stunts.

On the commetary, Smith alluded to the fact that he was stoned the whole time and couldn't remember his lines. That and he has some problem about ALWAYS having his arms crossed.

Jason was decent as Pink in D&C and certainly didnt do anything to distract from the movie or rest of the cast.

Whereas i found Jeremy to be a distraction in Mallrats since i already thought he was a crappy actor from seeing him on Party of Five.

How about when they played the same character? Jeremy was on the series "I'll Fly Away" but couldn't do the TV movie finale, so Jason did it instead.

Jason London because of Man In The Moon, which also happens to be Reese Witherspoon's first and best movie.

Isn't this like comparing a Steaming pile of horse cr*p with a Steaming pile of donkey cr*p ?

Jeremy does have the distinction of being in the only film where Alicia Silverstone shows something. He gets my vote!
