Trivia

 * Overton wanted to be a handyman since he was 6 years old.
 * His favorite tool is his hammer.
 * John was in a severe car accident after the show had ended and destroyed his left eye socket, shattered both of his legs, broke nine teeth and ripped up his stomach, but amazingly survived the incident.
 * Overton and Kyle were originally supposed to be cousins, but the creator, Yvette Lee Bowser, decided that since they had already had cousins on the show (Khadijah and Synclaire), they didn't need more because that would make everyone family except for Regine and Max.
