Growing up in Chicago neighborhood of Austin, he experienced the satisfaction of the audience when he was only 12, while appearing in such theatrical productions as “Kasimu & the Coconut Palm”, as a part of the ETA Creative Arts Foundation. Two years later he featured in the play “Eden”, which caught the attention of a talent agent, and in no time, Kel was on board a plane flying to Florida to appear on Nickelodeon for the first time. His first appearance was in the TV series “All That” (1994-1999), and two years later he was cast in the spin-off entitled “Kenan & Kel” (1996-2000), with Kenan Thomspon.

I passed up a lot of work 'cause a lot of movies that may be out there right now I passed em up because there may have been a lot of cussin' in 'em.

Every movie I do, or when I'm on the sketch comedy show, I don't really get into it until I have an outfit or something funny with my head or face or something.

Invisible Boy was fun. Everybody else's character, they knew where they were at already as a superhero. But invisible boy's character, you kind of grow up with him within the movie.

I loved Spider-Man, Spider-Man was the man.

Being a role model, you just got to watch what you do.

You could do a scene that takes 15 hours, but in the movie, it's only 10 minutes. The scene where they put the sauce poisoning in; it took eight hours.

We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.
Was part of the original MWAH! (Messages Which Are Hopeful) team based in Chicago, Illinois when he was 13 years old. MWAH! was formed in 1993 to teach kids positive messages and keep them on the right path.
