The Atlanta native is no new face to the industry. Years back, at the age of seven, McClain landed her big break as she shared the big screen with English prodigy Idris Elba on “The Gospel,” leading to various minor television roles.

Eventually, the young actress found herself landing more significant roles, starting with Tyler Perry’s “House of Payne” which aired on-screen for a total of eight seasons.

The success of “House of Payne” brought McClain into Disney stardom where she nailed the starring role of Chyna Parks in the teen sitcom, “A.N.T Farm” which aired in 2014.
