It seems like Kenan Thompson was always destined to become an actor. He couldn't get enough of starring in school plays and his passion eventually paid off in a big way. At 15 years old, he landed his first major role in the sequel of The Mighty Ducks, D2: The Mighty Ducks. This was shortly followed by the third installment, D3: The Mighty Ducks.
As he grew up and transitioned into adult roles, Thompson appeared in Love Don't Cost a Thing, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, My Boss's Daughter, and Snakes on a Plane. Though he has achieved modest success in the film industry, his best-known work has been his role as a cast member of sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live, which he began in 2003. Thompson has been a cast member on Saturday Night Live for longer than any other actor.
