49.Kenan Thompson

Kenan Thompson is a former child actor who gained popularity in the sitcom All That in 1994. Now, the former child actor is the longest main-stay actor of the show Saturday Night Live and a renowned comedian. Thompson is a true blood performer born to be part of the industry. At the age of five, he was already in acting school and participated in church plays. Since his participation in the show All That, Thompson increased his popularity as a child comedian and later star in his own show, Kenan and Kel.

He also starred in the teenage movie Heavyweights, D2: Mighty Ducks, D3: Mighty Ducks, and Snakes on a Plane. Like other child stars, Thompson had difficulties crossing over as an adult actor. For some reason, he was always seen as the young actor who stars in a kid’s show. As such, Thompson had to audition multiple times to be cast in SNL as he looked young for the show. He made his way through it and now owns the credit as the longest-tenured cast of the show for his 18 years as a cast member. Now, Thompson is set to star in the film Home Alone to be released in the coming year.
