Full Kenan Thompson Biography
Thompson's first appearance was in the movie D2: The Mighty Ducks. He also appeared in Heavyweights. Thompson got his first big break when he was 16. He started on Nickelodeon's All That from 1994 to 1999. He and co-star Kel Mitchell had their own spin-off television series Kenan & Kel which ran 1996 to 2000. In 2001 his official fan club was started. Thompson was also the host of the second season of Nickelodeon's animation showcase Oh Yeah! Cartoons.
Thompson has starred in several films including: Good Burger (1997), based on the All That sketch of the same name, playing Dexter Reed; and Fat Albert (2004), in which he played the title character.
