Actor reports no worries with Olsens

LOS ANGELES -- Despite playing Ashley Olsen's love interest in "New York Minute," actor Riley Smith still can't tell the difference between her and her fraternal twin Mary-Kate Olsen, both of whom produced and starred in the movie.
"The one that kissed me I knew was mine, and that was about it," the 26-year-old former Tommy Hilfiger model said.
Smith plays Jim, a spiky-haired bike messenger who literally runs into Jane Ryan (Ashley Olsen) as she makes her way through New York to reach an important appointment on time. The two smitten youths exchange goofy grins, PG-rated innuendo and a chaste kiss. Jared Padalecki of "Gilmore Girls" fame plays Mary-Kate's leading man.
Although the Olsens are two of the most powerful teens in the world, Smith says he wasn't intimidated to romance one of his pint-sized bosses on screen.
He and Jared "were handpicked," Smith explained. "It was the girls' choice who they wanted and which one they wanted -- so I knew [Ashley] was all right with me."
