Trivia[]

  • Gilpin was born in Austin, Texas, on September 26, 1966. He was the middle child of 4 children.
  • Gilpin's first day on the set, he actually had to shoot the scene where Martha Swatek's character was eaten. Production was behind schedule and the director, Jeannot Szwarc, needed to know that he could handle the part.
  • Gilpin reported that during a long shot on the water, a real hammerhead shark started circling the cast on the wreckage. Since they were originally meant to be acting in distress, the crew and director, filming from a distance, had no idea the teens were genuinely calling out for help.
  • Gilpin died from glioblastoma on July 29, 2023. He was 56.
