Benjamin Flores Jr.
Benjamin Flores, Jr. first found fame as a pre-teen rapper named Lil P-Nut before moving into the acting world with roles in kids' sitcoms "The Haunted Hathaways" (Nickelodeon, 2013-15) and "Game Shakers" (Nickelodeon, 2015-). Born in Memphis, TN in 2002, Flores, Jr. began rapping at the age of just four and three years later became a viral sensation thanks to a local FOX station report at his hometown's Hip-Hop Weekend & Expo which showcased his skills. Adopting the nickname his uncle gave him for his peanut-shaped head as a baby, Flores Jr. was subsequently invited to appear on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" (Syndication, 2003-) and released his first single, "You Might Be the One," shortly after. Flores, Jr. went onto guest on tracks by Cymphonique ("All That") and Iszy ("My Favorite Car"), but after landing the part of rapping penguin Atticus in animated sequel "Happy Feet 2" (2011), Flores Jr. began to switch his attention to acting. In 2013, he was cast as Louie Preston, the sarcastic scare-mongering ghost in comedy "The Haunted Hathaways" (Nickelodeon, 2013-15), and a year later added Kevin Hart vehicle "Ride Along" (2014) and festive tale "Santa Hunters" (2014) to his resume. Following one-off appearances in superhero sitcoms "The Thundermans" (Nickelodeon, 2013-) and "Henry Danger" (Nickelodeon, 2014-), and a leading role in family comedy "One Crazy Cruise" (2015), Flores, Jr. bagged his second major recurring role as video games consultant Triple G in "Game Shakers" (Nickelodeon, 2015-).
