Cast

Production

In MXP: Most Xtreme Primate, Jack is portrayed by Louie, a chimpanzee owned by Greg and Carol Lille. Louie was trained to snowboard by skiing and snowboarding instructor Sam Morishima, first using an indoor ski deck, then on hills and slopes on the Lilles' property, and finally on slopes at Soda Springs Ski Resort near Lake Tahoe in California. Louie had a "warming tent" set up for him, with a heater, to serve as a respite from the cold temperatures.
