While "Everybody Hates Chris," everyone seemed to love the series' precocious star, Tyler James Williams. The child actor, who portrayed the young Chris Rock in the semi-fictionalized UPN sitcom, learned early on how to carry a sitcom on his diminutive shoulders, having acted professionally in largely comedic roles since shortly after he learned to walk and talk.
