Acting career

Mitchell was an original member on Nickelodeon's All That from 1994-1999. He and co-star Kenan Thompson also starred in the spin-off series Kenan & Kel from 1996–2000, as well as a 1997 major motion picture, titled Good Burger, which is the movie version of one of his sketches from All That. The duo also appeared together in an episode of Sister, Sister with Tia and Tamera Mowry and they appeared in a special two-part episode of Cousin Skeeter. Mitchell's character in Kenan & Kel made him famous for antics and persona. Outside of his ventures with Kenan Thompson, Mitchell was the voice of a mild-mannered and playful dog named T-Bone in the children's cartoon series Clifford the Big Red Dog, alongside the late John Ritter, from 2000 to 2003. In 2006, he was hired as spokesmodel for KFC, constantly using the phrase "____ a little". Additionally, he also made an appearance in the 2004 Kanye West music video All Falls Down as a luggage collecting hotel valet. In 2005, Mitchell portrayed Manny Sellers in the sitcom One on One with Kyla Pratt, and in 2007 Kel starred in BET's new series Take the Cake. Some of his other credits include Honeydripper and Mystery Men. In March 2008 he filmed his writing and producing debut, "Chicago Pulaski Jones" in which he also stars as the lead role. Also in 2008, Mitchell appeared in two Detroit-based stage productions, Affairs and Laundromat, the latter written by Carlos Faison and also starred comedian Buddy Lewis, Leanne "Lelee" Lyons of R&B group SWV, celebrity impersonator/stage actor Matt Macis, and accomplished vocalist and performer Lauren "Lexxi" Alexis. Currently, Mitchell is a part of G4's Attack of the Show!, playing various characters most recently including a parody of Kanye West.
