The duo — who have been seen in countless films, comic books and TV shows — is played by real life childhood friends, writer/director/actor Kevin Smith and actor Jason Mewes. The characters made their debut in Smith’s first feature, the indie classic Clerks, and have gone on to appear in all of Smith’s “View Askewniverse” films. With news that another Jay and Silent Bob movie is on the way, Looper created a video looking into the origins and popularity of two.
