Tyler James Williams started his showbiz career on Sesame Street at the early age of four. He also appeared in the animated series Little Bill, voicing the character of Bobby. Also, he emerged in many commercials and comedic spoofs. But his popularity greatly immersed as he stars as the main character in Everybody Hates Chris.
As the young Chris Rock in the hit comedy series Everybody Hates Chris, he struggles to watch out for his siblings as he deals with the challenges of being a black teenager. This 14 year old teen is the eldest among three siblings which often lands him the responsibility of being the babysitter. The dependency of his parents towards him makes him more independent and strong willed which prepares him to face the discriminating world. Relatively shorter than his younger brother Drew, he develops a hint of inferiority complex as his brother gets popular with the girls.
