Then, he lands
Hangin’ with Mr.
Cooper. One of the
executive Producers
from Hangin’ with
Mr. Cooper starts a
new series Smart
Guy, and he lands
that gig too. From
his early teens to
22, he’s worked
consistently on
sitcoms.
“My career was
non-stop.”
While building a
consistent resume
on television, John
Singleton gives
Gooding a call to
take a read for
Baby Boy. Baby
Boy, the coming-
of-age conscious
drama that tackles
masculinity of young
men in the hood.
A film with gangs,
guns, violence, and
rape is far from
a comedy sitcom. Baby Boy was a shift in
Gooding’s career to help round out his acting
chops and showcase his versatility as an actor.
“I go out now, and people will say, “Man that
Baby Boy [character] was so strong the way
you portrayed it.” I’ve seen grown men come
to tears, and say ‘Bruh you was telling my
story.’ That means a lot to me.”
These affirmation makes him happy with the
projects that he chose. Since Baby Boy, Gooding
has acted in a number of sitcoms, films & plays.
He’s happy that his body of work helps people
laugh, cry or think. He really wanted you to be
entertained.

.“I’m most proud
of my body of
work. I try not
to compromise.
I try not to do
something just
for the money.
I stay selective
and picky with
the roles that I
choose. When
someone says
‘Keep up the good
work.’ I take that
to heart, and that
means people
are enjoying
the choices I’ve
made.”
