The show initiated future co-stars


I'm watching this show right now and I think it's interesting that most of the actors in the show all have some kind of coonection with each other in their future careers. Brandy and Yvette of course go on to Moesha. them the episode I just saw with them at the school had Kim in it!!! she looked so different too. She also goes on to be in moesha. and then I saw Mo from smart guy in the episode I'm watching right now and he goes on to Co-star with Jason Weaver in Samrt Guy. Even Moesha's little brother appeared in an episode of this show. If you know of any other connections post them here! I just think it's cool it's kind of like cosby show, a lot of actors also started their careers on the show even though it was short.

Dang, we was just recycling these young black actors in the early 90s weren't we, lol. Bumper Robinson I saw everywhere.

That is a good point, I agree it just like how The Cosby's was and Fresh Prince of Bel Air how they recyled their actors/actress.

I thought of two other actors/actress that was in Thea that went on to do other projects. One is Miguel Nunez(I think that is how you spell his name),he played Ricky the store cashier, he went on to do Jawanna Man (he played Jawanna) and he did other movies. The girl that played Theo girlfriend Justine in the Cosby's she played on an episode of Thea. I know she went to act in Family Matters as well as Steve Urkel girlfriend Myra. But sadly to say she later on passed in the year of 1999 or 2000.

But Jason Weaver was already a star having done "Jacksons: An American Dream" in 1992. But I know what you mean.! lol.
