Dan Spitz’ Mirror-Image Twins: Brendan and Jaden
28 02 2008They're absolutely adorable…check out those peepers!
Brendan Alan Spitz and Jaden Michael Spitz are not only super cute, they've got awesome names as well! The nine-month-old twins are the sons of Dan Spitz, three time Grammy nominee and former guitarist for the thrash metal band, Anthrax. He and wife, Candi, also have two daughters, Lianna and Julia.
Born on May 29, 2007, Brendan and Jaden are "mirror-image" twins, which means that they exhibit mirror-image features or behaviors. They may, for example, have opposite dominant hands or opposite hair whorls. It happens when the fertilized egg splits later than normal, around days 9-12. One in every 35 births is a twin birth, and one in four of these twin births are mirror-image twins.
Brendan and Jaden are already well on their way to a career in showbiz. They are represented by Twin Talent in NYC and are casting for several catalogs, as well as a TV show.
Dan, meanwhile, has been busy working on his solo album and is coming out with his own watch company, www.Americanmetalwatchcompany.com. He says of his boys: "The twins are really hard work, to say the least, but twice the fun!"
We can imagine!
Thanks, Dan, for sending us this great photo!







Too cute! Good work Dan & Candi. Truly a blessing.
