Hollywood wasn't always front-of-mind for Chauncey Leopardi. In fact, he was discovered in Dallas at six-years-old while accompanying his cousin to an agency audition. "I was just along for the ride," he said in a 2008 interview with the RobotBitesMan blog, adding, "But I had this really long hair and tons of energy." He eventually moved to Los Angeles at age seven, booking roles in 1991's Father of the Bride and the Boy Meets World pilot before scoring The Sandlot, which hit theaters in 1993. Throughout the '90s, he appeared in 7th Heaven, Walker, Texas Ranger, and as Nicky in 1995's Casper.

Leopardi remained good friends with Sandlot co-star Patrick Renna, who was a '90s mainstay in his own right with gigs on The X Files, Home Improvement, and Boy Meets World. "[Chauncey's] the one guy that I hung out with for years to come," Renna said in a 2020 YouTube video with Leopardi on his channel, You're Killing Me, adding that in addition to their days on the dirt, the two did two additional sports movies together: 1995's soccer comedy The Big Green and 2001's "little-known" basketball film Boys Klub. "We need to do a hockey movie," Leopardi joked.
