“I had never met someone that young so gifted and smooth comedically,” he said.
The series followed the teens' crazy adventures and silly mishaps.
During an interview withVibein 2016, the former costars reminisced about the beloved series.
“We looked at each other like, ‘Man, stop playing.
Of course, it would be the best thing ever,'” he recalled.
The comedic duo began shooting the pilot once the second season of “All That” had wrapped.
“It was the genuine friendship that we had,” he said.
“It didn’t seem like we were trying or making an effort to be there and do it.
I think that’s what really comes across the screen … how much fun we had together … And they’d say, ‘You look a little young.
Check back with us.’
It was a couple years’ worth of that.”
When he finally landed an audition, Thompson didn’t exactly nail it.
“I didn’t know how to engage the audience,” he recalled.
Thompson had three auditions before he finally got the job.
He knows the best way to do just about everything."
