He first roared his way into the hearts of thousands as "Simba" in Disney's 2003 stage production of The Lion King at the prestigious Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles. His successful, year-long run as the playful, tender-hearted cub even garnered him as Outstanding Young Performer nomination. Now, 15-year-old Christopher Massey is warming the hearts of kids everywhere as the lovable "Michael" in Nickelodeon's Zoey 101. "I was ecstatic when I got the part," sayd Christopher. "I have grown up watching Nickelodeon, particularly 'Kenan & Kel,' 'Rugrats' and 'Spongebob,' so this job is a dream come true." Christopher has been acting ever since he was a little tike appearing in commercials for Captain Crunch, Poptarts and McDonalds, among others. Notable film and television credits include 20th Century Fox's box office hit Big Momma's House with Martin Lawrence, and guest appearances on Yes, Dear, Punk'd, That's So Raven and The Parkers. When he's not busy acting, you can find Christopher competing in basketball with his cast members, and enjoying a host of other activities including swimming, gymnastics, golf, music and reading. |
