Those of us who were (were) children or adolescents in the 90s, have a kind of Olympus or altar for some children’s and youth series of that time. And, coincidentally or not, many of them were broadcast by a channel that also lived its golden years in that decade: Nickelodeon. “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” It is one of those memorable productions and, although it did not have too many episodes, it became a cult series from the first moment.
The first episode premiered in 1991, while the last one was broadcast in 1996. In total there were 34 episodes (plus 5 special programs), distributed in 3 seasons. The striking thing is that most of its characters were striking and surreal, not only because of their characteristics, but also because of the situations they went through in each episode. More than 30 years after the premiere of “The Adventures of Pete & Pete”this is how its two protagonists are today, who gave life to one brother with a life that was captivating.
This is how the protagonists of “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” are today
If we focus specifically on the plot of the series “The Adventures of Pete & Pete”, it is very strange to try to describe it. But we will try. The series told the story of two brothers, both named Pete, who lived in a quiet neighborhood in the United States. On a daily basis they had to deal with situations such as finding cereal in the shape of former US President Dwight Eisenhower in their breakfast bowl, bonding with their mother – who had a metal plate inside her skull – or following the hypnotic melody of a song that they liked until they found out where that song came from, called “Cream Jam” and that was performed by a group of young people in a garage in the neighborhood.
As for its protagonists, the older Pete of “The Adventures of Pete & Pete” was played by Michael C Maronna. The American actor is 45 years old today and, in addition to this Nickelodeon series, he had leading roles in “My Poor Little Angel” and “My Poor Little Angel 2”, along with Macaulay Culkin. Maronna also participated in episodes of “Gilmore Girls” and “Law and Order”, although her biggest leading role was in “Pete & Pete”.
The other brother, the younger Pete, was played by the actor Danny Tamberelli. He is currently 41 years old and, after consecrating himself in “The Adventures of Pete & Pete”, Tamberelli dabbled in another of his great jobs: he dedicated himself to being a “voice actor”, that is, giving voices to different cartoon and video game characters. In addition, he dedicated himself to music from a very young age, an activity to which he is currently engaged as a bassist and vocalist for the rock band Jounce.
out of the series “The Adventures of Pete & Pete”so much Michael C Maronna as Danny Tamberelli They maintain a close friendship and relationship, perhaps comparable to the one seen in the series where they gave life to two brothers. So much so that for 10 years, both present the podcast “The Adventures of Danny & Mike”where they gather those who are nostalgic for that Nick series.
