Taylor and Shawn Carpenter were born in Riverside, California, and lived in Lake Elsinore when they began playing the part of Will Reed on "Days of Our Lives."   Appearing on the show keeps these twins and their parents very busy. They have also appeared in a network promo. 

They were only six weeks old when they first started working on the show. They have brown hair and blue eyes and are identical twins. They have since moved to the Los Angeles area in order to be closer to the set.
