Notes
The Tommy Kennedy segments have been in rights limbo and not available for DVD inclusion precisely because nobody knows what the heck happened to Jason Jansen, where he is, or how to contact him. Of course, the matter hasn't been helped by the fact thefandomthought he was Jason Jansonfor years....
- Jansen resurfaced in early 2013, doing an interview where it turns out he grew up and got a job and basically is just an ordinary dude. This is actually quite an impressive accomplishment for someone who did any amount of professional acting as a child.
- Jason Jansen's acting credits beyondTransformersare sparse. However, he appeared in theHighway to Heavenepisode called "The Whole Nine Yards," (viewable on YouTube) and in a Frosted Mini Wheats commercial as the inner child of a cereal-hungry lumberjack (also viewable on YouTube).
