Darth Vader Super Bowl commercial featured two kids

Apparently, Max Page, who was revealed as the kid behind the Darth Vader Super Bowl commercial (and who looks like Luke Skywalker), was not the only one playing the Sith Lord for Volskwagen. This, according to Felice Povill, mother of David, writer of viral Darth Vader Super Bowl ads.

Felive Povill wrote:

You might want to know that there were 2 boys in the Darth Vader ad. They copywriter, my son, David, feels badly that one boy is getting all the buzz and the other goes unnamed and unrecognized!

UPDATE: Our friend Anonymous reports in a comment that the second boy's name is Aiden Lewis. Inside Edition has reported the same. Meanwhile, little Max met with The Voice on Monday. James Earl Jones, who voiced Darth Vader in "Star Fights" or whatever the movies are called (Local tangent! He lives in Dutchess County), met with Max, as you can see from the photo above (I don't know who's who, so you'll have to figure that out).

As for Aiden, he appeared in the scene with the dog, according to Inside Edition. I somehow couldn't tell.
