1st and 2nd that’s how I know him!!!

[@lafinoutloud]

I for some reason feel like they tried to downplay Hilary Duff’s career lol

[@TheDemonCurupira]

Well, she and Tom Welling were both already in staring roles on TV Shows (That's probably why they were in the movie) and were relatively famous so they have other things they're remembered for. The child/younger actors were definitely more interesting to learn about.

[@JamaicanRain]

A lot of people do. 😒 They shouldn’t, being her career is over.

[@lukemorrison4791]

JamaicanRain her career is no over until she quit either acting or singing.

[@breannasmith5742]

I feel like if they did it would highlight how little information they had on the rest of the people in the list

[@lara_young]

Not really. Her only career these days is reminding people that she was Lizzie Maguire.

[@Georgia7Pap]

Why didn't you mention Tom Welling's and Steve Martin's kids? Steve Martin had a baby at the age of 67 and Tom Welling named his son Thomson which literary mean's Tom's son. Just some fun facts.

Wait so Tom had a son called Thomas? That's not going to get confusing 😂

13 is a baker's dozen, which makes sense as they are the Baker family. In the old days of bakeries, if someone bought a dozen, the baker threw in the 13th for free. :)

[@orewahouston2143]

SunlightAngel87 but there’s 14 of them including the parents

[@sunlightangel87]

Thirteen kids though. That's what they were talking about. They weren't counting the parents. The original book, Cheaper By The Dozen, was written in 1948. The author wrote a fiction but it was based on his childhood growing up with his twelve siblings at the turn of the century. And in that time period, there was a "Baker's Dozen" which counted thirteen as a dozen. :)

Brings back so many elementary school years. I really liked the twins when they stepped forward to take the blame from the meat soaking plot against Hank (which was the funniest scene ever). I think they volunteered to take the blame since they won't get that much punishment for being the youngest.

Alyson Stoner's character dated Taylor Lautner in the second movie

[@jocelynflores000]

Alyson stoner is also a voice actor in the kingdom hearts franchise.

[@annabethchase2569]

Yeah, Alyson really has incredible career. I found her first a cover singer in some of Kurt Schneider's videos and then as a youtuber star. Then I found out she's a dancer. Then I found out she was the girl in the Step up movie. Then I found out she was Isabella Garcia Shapiro (MIND BLOWN by this point). Then I found she was in some other places (like the Kingdom Hearts series, Avatar the Legend of Korra, etc.) Now I find she was in Cheaper by the Dozen too... The number of surprises she's given me is one of the reasons I never check her filmography. I found out each of these things separately, when looking at something else altogether. At this point, it's a running gag in my life. "Alyson Stoner was here too? Really? Wow!"

[@chasemurraychristopherdola7108]

I’m surprised that there was no mention of Steve Martin in the movie home because he voiced captain smeek in it

[@adilfarooq3443]

6:29 - She is also the voice of Opal in Avatar the legend of Korra; arguably the most famous new characters.
