Early life[]

Thomas was born in Anchorage, Alaska and lived in Germany until the age of four.^[1] After his family settled in Southern California, he began acting in commercials at age six.^[2]

Career[]

In 1998, Thomas's first television appearance was on an episode of Bill Cosby's Kids Say the Darndest Things.^{[citation needed]}

He has since starred in such films as Friday After Next (2002), Holes (2003), Going to the Mat (2004), Walking Tall (2004), and Roll Bounce (2005).

Thomas starred in the 2003 Disney film Holes, adapted from Louis Sachar's book of the same name. Thomas had not read the book before he was cast as Zero.^[2] To adapt to the desert climate for filming Holes, Thomas was required to participate in physical conditioning training. He recalls, "We had to climb rope, dig holes, run, go hiking, do sit-ups and push-ups. The whole time we were thinking, why do we need this? Then we get to the desert and we understood. It was so hot, you could only be in a hole for 20 minutes at a time."^[2] Thomas sang on one of the movie soundtrack's songs, "Dig It", which originated on the six-hour round-trip bus rides that transported the actors to the set.^[2]

In 2005 he became more involved in music after he began an association with fellow rapper/actor Bow Wow and his label LBW. He was featured on Bow Wow's fifth studio album The Price of Fame as well as on numerous mixtapes. He made cameo appearances in Bow Wow's "Fresh Azimiz" and "Outta My System" music videos.^{[citation needed]}

In 2006, Thomas guest-starred in "Poppin' Tags", an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation; and in the season four episode of House, "Ugly" in 2007. He co-starred in the first episode of the television series Teachers, which was canceled after six episodes. He starred in movies such as Remember the Daze (2007) and Hurricane Season (2009). In 2010, Thomas starred in the action film Boogie Town.^{[citation needed]}

Khleo Thomas started a Twitch page in 2020. He plays games, hosts Disney trivia contests, cosplays as the ultimate Powerline, and sometimes takes a break from all of that to just talk to his followers.^{[citation needed]}
