Aaron and Adam Weis

[2] In 1985, they were hired for the film Top Gun starring Tom Cruise after winning a movie casting, held at Point Loma for four-year-old identical twins.

[7] They graduated in 1999 as co-valedictorians from Clairemont High School, subsequently from University of California, Santa Barbara and obtained their teaching credentials.

[9] Both brothers have been awarded the title of Bay Area Teacher of the Month by the non-profit organization 826 Valencia, Aaron in September 2014[10] and Adam in May 2015.

[13] In 2018, news outlets reported that the Top Gun sequel in production would feature the character Bradley Bradshaw in a major role, played by Miles Teller, bringing the Weis twins to public awareness again.

Asked on their opinion of the casting, Adam wondered whether Teller (born 1987) may be a bit too young for the role, but neither brother wanted to make a judgement before seeing the film.
