[edit] Biography
Nicky and Alex were the identical twin sons of Jesse Katsopolis and Rebecca "Becky" Donaldson, protrayed by Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit. They are blond, generally well-behaved toddlers throughout the series with no distinctions between them. They often repeat each other. Their characters were invented with the idea that they would take off in popularity like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, but it never happened.
In the Full House books, it is revealed that Nicky is a little more adventurous, while Alex is the slightly more insecure one who usually always wants to be near his brother. In one episode of the TV series, when one of the twins has a cold, it evolves into a disagreement between Jesse and Becky about how to handle them. Becky worries that Jesse will turn Nicky into a rebel, while Jesse worries Becky will turn Alex into a wimp. However, this situation is quickly resolved and is never further pursued. Therefore, it is safe to say that, in the TV series, there is never a time when the characters truly have separate identities.
Blake and Dylan played Nicky and Alex from season six through the show's finale in 1995. The twins were about one when they started to play the part of Nicky and Alex. Prior to that the Renteria twins played the "baby versions" of Nicky and Alex from "Happy Birthday Babies, Part II" to the end of season five. They were born on Michelle Tanner's birthday.
