Biography
Bobb'e J. Thompson skirted to fame as a child actor well before his teens, initially with a small but colorful and energetic supporting role as the pint-sized Tupac in the unofficial
Three Men and a Baby update
My Baby's Daddy (2003), then with an ongoing small screen characterization as the infatuated Stanley on the situation comedy
That's So Raven. Thompson provided one of the voices in the CG-animated adventure comedy
Shark Tale (2004) and contributed to OutKast mainstay
Bryan Barber's offbeat, inventive musical drama
Idlewild (2006), before teaming up with
Vince Vaughn in the holiday comedy
Fred Claus, and Paul Rudd and
Seann William Scott in the acerbic farce
Role Models (2008). Alongside his film work, Thompson culled favorable attention for his prominent contributions to the youth-oriented urban dance video JammX Kids: Can't Dance Don't Want To, which afforded him the opportunity to show off his flair for urban music and footwork. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
