Met Lee Thompson Young
Met actor/script writer Lee Thompson Young. Last night I finally caught "Akeelah and the Bee." When I saw that Lee Thompson Young was in the movie as well, I was like about time. I've been a fan of his since his "Jett Jackson" days on Disney. (Yeah I admit that so I had to post up some new info about Lee Thompson Young for all his fans out there. I know I am NOT his only fan!) His last films were 2004's "Friday Night Lights" and 2006's "Akeelah and the Bee." Young also appeared on "Smallville" as character Victor Stone. Here's a screen shot of him from "Smallville."
Derek Luke, Tim McGraw, Lee, and Faith Hill at the "Friday Night Lights" movie premiere in 2004.
Lee has one film in production to be released in 2007 called The Hills Have Eyes II where he plays PFC Delmar Reed. "The Hills Have Eyes II" is a horror flick which plot is about "A group of National Guard trainees find themselves battling against a vicious group of mutants on their last day of training in the desert." {Source} According to his Wikipedia page, Young's next work is to reprise his character of Cyborg on the CW's "Smallville" Season Six episode "Justice", scheduled to air on January 18, 2007.

Don't even get me started! I used to think the show was real at one point because lee is from the SC where the show was taped. I had to throw it back to "The Jett jackson." I never missed an episode of that show back in the day. The thing that killed it was the movie. Disney has a tendency of overdoing things. Filming a movie killed "Lizzie McGuire" and so on and so on.
I can't wait to see his new movie as well. I heard the original was good.
I used to be a huge fan of the famous jett jackson back in the day, i used to watch it all the time.
I canno't wait to see the Hills Have Eyes 2..The remake was really god.
