Did Josh Young and Ben Johnson liked playing as Dylan and Eric?

What are your thoughts?

I thought it was just ok. I mean they did try somewhat to make them look like Eric and Dylan and the clothing was good but they still didn't look quite right. Especially Eric. I don't know if you saw the recentish Bacement tape recreation but I think these guys did a better job than that but still not really what they looked like.
I think it was a good documentary but nothing itself compares to what happened.

The real Eric is kind of nondescript when he's on video. The documentary actor resembles the Eric Harris that I see in still pictures.

The Dylan actor didn't really resemble the real deal, but I think the mannerisms were close.


As for whether these two actors liked playing the parts: I dunno.

Zero hour: Columbine is one of the better documentaries out there and yes it may not be 100% accurate but it stands well even though it was made long ago.

As for the actors we can't really say anything, they filmed it back in 2003-2004 so it's hard to say but they must have been grateful to have an opportunity to have a role at a young age. They were exactly as old as Eric and Dylan which would have made them around 22/23 when they played as them.

At least Josh Young has instagram and twitter and still appears in some movies and tv shows, so we know he's okay. Whereas for Ben Johnson, his last update was on facebook back in 2012 and nobody has heard from him since. I hope he is doing okay.

Can you point me to the twitter accounts?

So Ben Johnson does not have instagram or twitter but he has a facebook which he hasn't used since 2012:

Here's Josh young's Instagram (locked account) and twitter:

They shot Zero hour in Toronto so they are originally from around that area.

OK, thanks.

no problem (:

I feel like their acting was fabulous. Ben looked very close to Eric. Although Josh does not look a lot like Dylan, I still think he made it work. Honestly, I now think of Josh when I think of Dylan Klebold.

I wouldn't wish "looking like Dylan" on my worst enemy. Dylan's high school yearbook photos look like he's a cover model for Punchable Face Weekly Magazine.

I laughed out loud at that!

I stole it from John Oliver (who was talking about Nigel Farage), but the one where he's wearing the "Serial Killer" shirt makes him look like a troglodyte. At least, his facial expression does. No wonder he felt so bad about his nose.
I guess he looks presentable in the green-shirt/outdoors photos.

I think they were pretty close for a documentary, minus the KEL-TEC Sub-2000 in Eric's hands. I prefer the guy playing Dylan though, as the guy playing Eric doesn't behave as if he's holding a real gun with recoil, just points and shoots like a nerf gun.
