Kyle and Christopher Massey are only in their late teens and yet they are already considered television stars. The brothers, who hail from Atlanta, have already made quite an imprint on frequent viewers of Disney and Nickelodeon. However, these hip, energetic and talented brothers have only just started to take the acting world by storm.It didn't take long for 16 year old Kyle Massey to break out into the business. Seven years ago, he began to take on guest starring roles in such television shows as The Parkers, The District, Becker and The Practice. Kyle's big break came in 2003, when he was picked to star as Raven-Symone's younger brother, Cory, in the Disney series, That's So Raven. The show marked the beginning of his career with Disney. In 2005, he starred in Disney Channel's Original Movie, Life is Ruff. Soon after, he did voiceover work on the Disney animated series, American Dragon: Jake Long. In 2007, Disney created a spin-off of That's So Raven specifically for Kyle. The new show, Cory in the House, centers on Cory moving into the White House with his dad, who works there as a chef.Kyle has also ventured into the music world, using his rapping talent. His rap single, It's a Dog, was featured in both the film Life is Ruff and The Shaggy Dog. His song, Underdog, was featured in the motion picture of the same name and was a #1 hit on Radio Disney's Top 10. He also had the chance to perform in one of the episodes of That's So Raven. Kyle is not currently planning on recording an album, but he will continue to rap when the opportunities arise.Like his younger brother, 18 year old Christopher Massey is also busily making his mark in the television world. He first started out in commercials for such brands as Cap'n Crunch, Pop Tarts and McDonalds. He soon expanded his resume with guest starring appearances in television series like The Parkers, The District, Yes, Dear, Everybody Hates Chris and his brother's show, That's So Raven. His big break came through the kid's network, Nickelodeon, in 2005, when he won a starring role in the television show, Zoey 101, alongside Jamie Lynn Spears. Christopher plays Michael Barret, the jock roommate of Logan Reese and Chase Matthews. The show was nominated for an Emmy in 2005 for Outstanding Children's Program.Besides acting, the brothers keep busy with extracurricular activities. Christopher often takes trips to Washington DC to participate in youth conferences. While Christopher focuses on intellectual hobbies, Kyle concentrates on creative and sporty pursuits. Besides rapping, Kyle is a gifted artist and an accomplished golfer. A few years ago he even won the National Minority Midwest Jr. Golf Tournament.Whether in front of the cameras or at play, the Massey brothers are two hard working young men that are poised to succeed in whatever they choose to do!
