Kenan Thompson

For his introduction to acting, Kenan Thompson’s mother enrolled him in acting classes when he was as young as five years old. From that point onward, Kenan found a passion for it and even performed on local stage productions and school plays.

Fast forward a couple of years, Kenan finally found his way into the entertainment industry, with one of his earlier stints being on CNN’s Real News for Kids segment as an entertainment reporter. Soon after, he garnered a skyrocketing degree of recognition for his role in the Nickelodeon comedy series All That. He’s also worked on titles such as Fat Albert, The Mighty Ducks, and his recently released series Kenan. Among all these projects, though, perhaps Kenan is most recognized among fans for his ongoing stint as a cast member of Saturday Night Live, with his first appearance on the show being back in 2003.
