Christopher Martin is a talented entertainer who became a household name in the 1980s after he began to appear in the "House Party" movie franchises and "Kid N Play" cartoons, alongside Christoper Reid.

The actor later wrote and produced songs, giving his fans a dose of his musical prowess. These days, he focuses on his acting skills, starring in BET productions, and has produced a new documentary called "And iDanced."

The pair are an incredible team who do not mind sharing their time with Chris. In a 2018 photo, Martin, his grandchild, and son stepped out for an outing.

The trio seemed happy, and fans could notice the resemblance between the actor and the tiny minion. The "Kid N Play" star is clearly not tired of doting on his son, despite the divided attention.

"This picture right here is worth more than trillions! Son & granddaughter love."

Chris's daughter is also training to be a good horse rider. She has attended a few classes in the past to brush up on her riding skills.

MORE ON MARTIN'S LIFE

The actor was born in Jamaica, Queens, New York. He admitted that growing up was not easy because he became attracted to negative elements of the streets instead of school work as a teenager.

Even though Martin described himself as "an accident waiting to happen," through discipline and faith in God, he fulfilled his dream of becoming a notable entertainer who has won some awards and recognition in the entertainment industry and beyond.
