I watch American Dreams all the time and recently I have seen this guy on it, he plays Palladino in J.J.'s Marine group, he looks so familiar but cant remember what else I have seen him on, can someone help me?

The only show I can think of seeing him on right off the top of my head is "Freaks and Geeks". He played a punk on there, too.

no, I don't think it was that show that I remember him from, i think it was something from a while ago where he played it as a much younger boy

I FELT THE SAME WAY TOO, UNTIL MY SISTER TOLD ME HE WAS FROM ONE OF THE MOVIES OF FREE WILLY.

I found out his name is Chauncey Leopardi.

Here's an old photo of him from the movie "The Big Green"

thanks Kim, I was looking everywhere to find his name but couldn't. I think i must remember him from the sandlot because the other ones I havent really seen.

Oh my gosh! I have the wrong guy.

The actor is Francis Capra not Chauncy Leopardi!

They look a lot alike.

Francis Capra is the great-grandson of Frank Capra who directed "It's a Wonderful Life".
