In 2002, Mowry once again returned as a voice actor, by starring in the successful animated show, Kim Possible (2002), as the computer-genius "Wade Load". Mowry's character on "Kim Possible" was inspired by the character he played on Smart Guy
(1997). Several "Kim Possible" movies were released during the
syndication of the series, all of which Mowry starred in. The "Kim
Possible" series and franchise ended in 2007, after winning several
prestigious awards. Tahj Mowry, in 2007, also starred in a movie, with
rapper/actor/comedian "Ice Cube", called Are We Done Yet?
(2007). Mowry played the role of "Danny Pulu". In the late 2000s, Mowry
signed onto a label, and began to pursue a singing career, citing he
wanted to do more than be an actor and had other passions. Mowry will be
forever remembered as a versatile entertainer and as one of many
favorite child stars.
