What Roger From Sister, Sister Looks Like Today
From snagging the role of Roger Evans in "Sister, Sister" at the age of 12, Marques Houston experienced a life only most child stars could dream of. As his acting career began, his career as a tweenage music artist peaked. Before "Sister, Sister," his group, Immature — which included Jerome Jones and Don Santos (later Kelton Kessee) — released their most notable album, "Playtyme Is Over," in 2994. While completing his acting obligations, Immature released two more albums from 1995 to 1997.
Though Houston saw great success from both ventures at the time, he thought that his portrayal of Roger would impact his identity as a growing musician. As a result, Houston decided to step away from the show to focus on his music career. In an episode of TV One TV's "Uncensored," Houston explained how his departure affected his growth as an artist. "Once I went solo, I think it helped because I had stopped doing "Sister, Sister," he noted. "Had I gone for two more seasons, I think that image would've been just printed and stuck in people's heads, and I don't think I would have been able to have a career after that." Luckily for Houston, this decision was met with open arms. As a solo act, he found noteworthy success through seven full-length studio albums, with his third album "Veteran," peaking at No. 1 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
