If you spend as much time on TikTok as we do, videos of the father-son duo Randy and Brice Gonzalez — widely recognized by their username @Enkyboys — have more than likely hit your For You page.
The pair is widely known for their hilarious use of viral sounds and reenacting famous scenes from movies, events, and stand-ups.
With over 160.6 million likes and 7.4 million followers on TikTok, the expressive @Enkyboys have commanded the internet’s attention...but we’re not the only ones watching.
The 5-year-old and his father recently gained a new level of traction after re-creating a now viral clip of a reporter questioning one of the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.
"When I saw [the rioter's video], I just knew Brice would knock it out of the park," Randy told BuzzFeed. "He is a natural. He has always been a character and has never taken any acting classes."
After seeing their clip, which boasts a growing 6.5 million views on TikTok and 15 million views on Twitter, Ava DuVernay — yes, the Ava DuVernay behind Queen Sugar, A Wrinkle in Time, and When They See Us — expressed a great interest in casting them.
I’ve watched four different videos of this kid over the past 25 hours in which he mimics four very different kinds of characters and my new goal of 2021 is to meet him and cast him in something somewhere somehow. Also his partner. Obsessed. https://t.co/6982Xnhpya
When asking Randy about the possibility of working with Ava, he had this to say: "We have been in contact with Ms. Ava, but cannot discuss more. But it is amazing and exciting!"
