Trivia

Kobi Frumer's most memorable moment from shooting was when he and Bryan Bencivenga had to laugh at Matthew Jenkins (Young Eric) not being able to swim. Kobi couldn't help but feeling terrible about what they were doing, even though he knew they were acting, because it felt "so wrong". It was a difficult moment for Kobi. "Audiences should get just how terrible it is to bully someone, and how dangerous it can be."
