Is the kid from the Geico Commercials actually Mike Wallace's Nephew?

May be...

no he is not
he's to smart to be a wallace

yes he is!

***EDIT: no he's not. he's an actor. found this finally:

his name is eddie heffernan, and he's from richmond.

here's the story, released only this month after months of secrecy:

"The toughest, coolest, most ruthlessly ambitious driver in motorsports was born in Richmond, resides in Chicago, doesn't have a driver's license and is more familiar with the nuances of Hamlet than those of Denny Hamlin.

Meet Lauren Wallace, the fictitious pre-adolescent pepperpot whose quest to replace distant cousin Mike Wallace behind the wheel of the No.7 GEICO Racing Camry is the premise for a series of popular and wickedly funny television commercials created for GEICO by the Richmond-based Martin Agency.

Many believe Lauren to be a flesh-and-blood prodigy who one day will shove opponents out of his way on the high banks at Daytona. That perception is a tribute to the work of Eddie Heffernan, a 14-year-old actor who has breathed honest-to-goodness life into Lauren's voice, mannerisms and ill-concealed contempt for his adult cousin."

i guess i was wr- wr- wr- wrong. there i got it out. disregard the crap below.***

there i just erased it. no proof i was wrong now ;-)

On Mike Wallace's wikipedia page it says he is. However, anyone can edit that stuff so I wouldn't believe it. So he probably isn't

Warren Wallace, Yes he is his nephew. As is Rusty's and Kenny's.

Just don't get to close, or he'll put you in the wall.

thanks, that's what i do for a living... ;-) Report It

No he isn't. They have said on Trackside several times he isn't. His last name isn't even wallace.

yes--and Rusty's and Kenny's!!

yes. Steven wallace. He races in Arca series.

TY #1 Jr fan!! He looked me square in the eye and said No he wasn't. He kinda acted like he was tired of hearing it and I'm sure he was.!

i duno but those commercials always annoyed me.

on the commercials, he claims to be his cousin, not his nephew. and his name is loren, not warren. i got that straight from geico, i emailed them about it. i personally don't think the kid is related, i think he's just an actor, but i could be wrong about that part. but the one thing i am positive about is the name. it's loren.

Check out this link. There is lots of info there.
