### Kianna Underwood’s Career: What to Know
Underwood began her entertainment career in the late 1990s with Nickelodeon, voicing the character Fuschia Glover on the Nick Jr. animated series *Little Bill* from 1999 to 2004. The show, based on Bill Cosby’s book series, followed the adventures of a five-year-old African American boy and his family.
In 2005, she appeared in seven episodes of Nickelodeon’s popular sketch comedy show *All That*. This groundbreaking program became a cultural phenomenon for young audiences and ran for over a decade. It also served as a launching pad for numerous successful entertainment careers, including those of Nick Cannon, Kenan Thompson, and Amanda Bynes.
Underwood also had a background in musical theater, spending a year on the first national tour of *Hairspray*, where she performed as Little Inez, a supporting role in the Tony Award-winning Broadway production.
*All That* was Underwood’s last credited acting role. Although she stepped away from the entertainment industry after 2005, her contributions to children’s programming left a lasting impact on viewers who grew up watching Nickelodeon during that era.
