    A great actor but a comedian... hide show

    Kenan Thompson,
    Was one of the first and one of the legnedary peole to come off the show ALL THAT.He is best know for his work on Nickelodeon in the 90's But left to work on his career.He has starred in some great to good films such as Fat Albert Snakes on a Plane.In 2004 he joined the cast of SNL.His legendary work on ALL THAT didnt seem to help him.All in all he is one of the few to come off Nickand make it big.And i can see him doing great things in the Near Future.But he justs needs to help SNL out.

    I love Kenan. He's so funny. I grew up watching him. I loved him in All That, Kenan and Kel, Heavyweights, and The Mighty Ducks. Also Goodburger. I wish I could see him in All That and Kenan and Kel again.

    I used to adore Kenan in my younger days. hide show

    When I was little, Kenan was one of my biggest role models. I used to never stop watching him on shows such as All That and Kenan & Kel. He was quite funny on films too like The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle and Goodburger: The Movie.
    Now that I am older I don't really like him as much but he is still one of my favourite comedic actors.
    Overall, good comedic actor.
