William Cole has an identical twin brother, Samuel, who was also cast
as Reba Cash's baby in the
Johnny Cash biopic,
Walk the Line (2005). A casting call for
identical twins was made through the Memphis Mother's of Multiples Club
and Samuel and William's mother, Leanne, submitted their photographs on
a whim. His parents received a phone call from the Casting Director
asking them to be at the shoot the next day. After an all-day shoot in
the mud and drizzling rain, the boys, who were only a few months old at
the time, were exhausted, but enjoyed their first taste of
Hollywood.
