You might recognize triplets Gerry, Myles, and Leo Fitzgerald as star hockey players from Bemidji State University in Minnesota, but you most likely know them as Sylvester from 1999's Baby Geniuses.
In 2017, the New York Times ran a profile piece on the Fitzgerald brothers, who revealed that they recalled "almost nothing" about their time as actors, which ended shortly after the second Geniuses film did.
As Myles describes it, the boys had the option of continuing in cinema, but ultimately decided not to. "Our parents asked us if we wanted to keep trying the acting thing or play hockey," he explained. "Obviously, we all wanted to play hockey. We were so young at the time to make a decision, but hockey is where we wanted to focus."
That decision was clearly the right one. The boys, whose careers are steadily on the rise, have been called "three fireballs on the ice at once, kind of like three Tasmanian devils," by their coach.
