A Milwaukee native and father of two who first found fame after moving to Los Angeles with his mother Loyce, an aspiring singer, Lamont Bentley first appeared onscreen in such popular television shows as Family Matters and The Parent 'Hood before making an impression on viewers with a recurring role on the popular UPN sitcom Moesha.

Trivia:
Though many know the name Shar Jackson primarily because of her involvement with Kevin Federline, the actress has, in fact, had quite a successful run in her own right. She played the role of Niecy Jackson on the popular sitcom Moesha for several seasons, and also appeared in the Nickelodeon movie Good Burger as Monique. While her relationship with Federline as the father of two of her children did put her personal life in the public eye when he married (and subsequently divorced) Britney Spears in the early 2000s, Jackson played this notoriety to her advantage, winning the reality series Celebrity Rap Superstar, and joining Marla Maples and Angie Everhart as a co-host of the show The Ex-Wives Club.

Trivia:
Actress Malinda Williams launched her career with scattered guest appearances on The Cosby Show and NYPD Blue, but branched out into big-screen roles in the mid-'90s. At an early stage, Williams vocally and pointedly expressed an interest in seeking out parts for African-American women characterized by their accuracy, incisiveness, and realism -- a desire that would shape and hone many of her subsequent project choices. She took two of her earliest big-screen bows in 1996 -- with small supporting roles in the Jon Lovitz laugher High School High and the Martin Lawrence sex comedy A Thin Line Between Love and Hate -- then appeared in such films as The Wood (1999), Idlewild (2006), and Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls (2007). Williams next signed for a pivotal supporting role in the crime comedy First Sunday (2008), about a couple of criminals who take hostage a bunch of church members.
