WHO:    Lee Thompson Young, star of DISNEY CHANNEL's original series
        The Famous Jett Jackson and the upcoming film The Famous Jett
        Jackson: The Movie. In The Famous Jett Jackson, Lee plays Jett
        Jackson, a kid actor who doubles as the daring action star
        Silverstone in his own series. The twist is that Jett has his
        show moved from Hollywood to Wilsted, North Carolina so he can
        go to school, hang out with his friends, and live with his
        family -- just like a regular kid. Lee began acting at the age
        of 10 after taking a part in a local theatre production A
        Night of Stars and Dreams, in which he played Dr. Martin
        Luther King, Jr. From there Lee went on to perform his own
        one-man show, Young Treasures. The profits from the show
        allowed Lee to travel to New York with his mother to pursue
        acting professionally. Subsequently, Lee appeared in
        commercials for McDonald's and Robitussin, starred in the
        DISNEY CHANNEL original movie Johnny Tsunami, had roles in the
        television series New York Undercover, the feature film
        Peroxide Passion, and was cast in a production of Anna Devere
        Smith's play House Arrest. Most recently, Lee was also
        featured in Teen Magazine's "Who's That Babe?" column.

WHAT:   Guest stars in an episode of DISNEY CHANNEL's original
        sports series The Jersey. The episode featuring Lee Thompson
        Young tapes Thursday at Blackwelder Studios.

        In  "Origins," Hilary and Willa are doggedly determined to
        track down Lee Thompson Young, star of Disney Channel's The
        Famous Jett Jackson and upcoming film The Famous Jett Jackson:
        The Movie. These two seasoned reporters will stop at nothing
        to interview Lee for their `Zine -- they stake out a
        restaurant and even bluff their way onto the tennis courts of
        a country club in search of him. The elusive Lee Thompson
        Young finally turns up on Hilary's doorstep to return the
        jersey, which the MNFC, Hilary and Willa thought had been lost
        forever to Blackstone and his evil minions.

        In DISNEY CHANNEL's original sports series, The Jersey, a
        tired old football jersey is passed down to Nick from his
        deceased grandfather, but this is much more than your ordinary
        jersey -- it's a magical portal into the world of sports.
        Astonishingly, its wearer is transported off the couch, onto
        the field and into the cleats, shoes or skates of sports
        heroes.
