After signing the movie contract Kilroy took a major step... during the 1st day of this movie the real Ernest Kilroy Roybal was ending an African 30 day missionary trip at 80 years old. On day 3 of his trip he broke his knee bone in half. In extreme pain through Prayer he made the decision to wait til he gets back to the USA to fix it rather than come home because of his love for the people of Africa. He kept in touch with the producers daily from his home in Hesperia after that til end of filming...
Executive Producers met world class Actor Wilson Ramirez in 2015 at a movie premier. They said "He looks a lot like Kilroy!" Little did he know 3 years later they would cast Wilson as Kilroy.
