Kenn Whitaker, who, as previously mentioned, comes from a family of hard workers, was extremely enthusiastic at the beginning of his career. Kenneth was largely inspired to pursue an acting career after seeing his older brother Forest performs in theatres and on the big screen. He made his acting debut in 1997's Most Wanted, starring Keenen Ivory Wayans and Jon Voight. He appeared in the 1999 film Life, which also starred Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy. Kenny decided to leave the film industry in 2001's crime/drama Last Days as Ben Forget. Later, the actor worked on several projects, but most of his contributions were insignificant.
