You probably remember Mowry from the TV show The Smart Guy. He played the adorable young genius T.J. Henderson who got into all sorts of tween trouble. Now, Mowry is 24 year-years-old, he's working on an album and lining up some choice roles in mumblecore films (well, the third part is more of my hope). But seriously, someone should cast him in a quirky indie film because Mowry needs his own version of a Zooey Deschanel manic-pixie-dream-girl to chase after.
Let's call his possible foray into the world of independent cinema the Untitled Tahj Mowry Project. His first movie should include at least one or more of the following:
- A scene where he listens to indie rock on big headphones as he ponders life.
- A scene where he meets his manic-pixie-dream-girl in some clever offbeat setting.
- A scene where he runs around the city (or town) having way too much fun.
Because most beloved indie films have those elements and even though they may sound cliche, if done right it can lead to something special (Before Sunrise, Napoleon Dynamite, Medicine for Melancholy).
So what do you think? Who should play his possible love interests?
And lastly, here's a video from his latest venture a live web series talk show...

Definetly agree!! Tahj ROCKS!! Indie is so him, and the album is gonna be FIRE!!
No way no how. I can't see him as anyone else but Michelle's best friend on Full House.
@Tom
Full House was a great show but that was so LONG ago. People can reinvent themselves. For example, Jurnee Smollett was Michelle's other best friend and now she's on Friday Night Lights doing wonderfully.
Mowry should team up with Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy) or Taika Cohen (Eagle vs. Shark) that would be lead to some interesting possibilities!
Hey Karen! To reply to your comment, my friend's letting me borrow his Canon Rebel XT for the time being. :] Also, my goodness, he's all grown up now! I can't wait to see what the future has in store for him.
Yes that would totally be AWESOME! Indie movies are pretty sweet ! Bonus he's working on album sweetness can't wait!
I say go Tahj and blaze a trail in Indie films. Wow he's all grown all = ).
