I could barely find a picture of him. If you squint, you'll see him in the red.
What ever happened to this kid? Well, he’s not a kid anymore at nearly 23 but he was a kid when he played Ahmad in 1997's Soul Food, the film I best remember him from. He was a very talented little boy then, giving a good showing in this film -– onscreen and as a voice actor.
He has done a bit of TV and a film or two, since Soul Food but at present, he seems to be off the scene. I wonder what he’s doing these days.
I hope he reappears. He was a fine talent.
this is the best i could do. http://imdb.com/name/nm0358650/
maybe he doesn't want to act anymore .. maybe.

@ Johnny
Yeah; I guess he doesn't. Too bad for us. Thanks for trying, Johnny. I've looked everywhere that I know to look. Can't seem to find him. Wah Wah Wah. All our good child actors fade into oblivion; J. Smollett (who seems to be quite visible these days, actually), Jessika Quynn Reynolds and Brandon Hammond. Wah Wah Wah.

yeah j. smollett did fade away and is slowly filling the room with light again. hopefully she will be able to express the talent she gave us a small glimpse of in 'bayou.' it is really important that our family take care of our youngsters ambitions as if they were our own, because they are.

Wow, I forgot all about him. Looking at his past work, he was hot from say 1995-1998 give or take in either direction. He was very talented, looks like he just never got the right vehicle to showcase that.
Forget about a pimp, it's hard out here for a black actor.

There is a commercial in which a black family is sitting around talking about family. The guy that is talking favors the actor in Soul Food, but he does not look old enough to be him. I can not remember what the commercial is advertising, but I have wondered for awhile if it was him. I first saw the commercial in 2007.

smollett is damn brilliant. if she was that good in bayou at such a young age, imagine what she could be like if she had her own vehicle.
i too wondered where hammond went!

Maybe that was him in that commercial. Maybe he does small things here and there.
