The Single Friends Of Living Single, Where Are They Now?

Kim Fields played boutique buyer-turned-costume assistant-turned wedding planner Regina—or Régine, as the character liked to be called. She was the seemingly superficial one of the group, and was often very fussy about her appearance (who could forget all those wigs?) and was always striving to appear “high class.” Régine loved gossip, fancy clothes, and wealthy men.

Following the cancellation of Living Single, Kim Fields got into singing and rapping, and at one point, after dyeing her hair platinum blonde, she began performing under the stage name “Blondielocks.” But her foray into music was short-lived, and she has since ventured into directing. Kim directed episodes for TV shows such as Nickelodeon sitcom Kenan & Kel, Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns, Tyler Perry's House of Payne and BET’s Let's Stay Together. As for acting, she appeared in the star-studded 2012 film, What to Expect When You're Expecting and the 2014 TV movie For Better or for Worst.

He was only a minor character, but Shaun Baker’s Russell Montego—the Jamaican editor at Khadijah’s magazine, Flavor—brought color to the show with his awesome accent, hilarious cracks, and interestingly vibrant wardrobe.

Shaun Baker has done guest appearances in other shows, such as CSI: Miami, NYPD Blue, and A Different World. He is also known for starring alongside Pamela Anderson in the action comedy series V.I.P. as martial arts expert Quick Williams. Most recently, Baker appeared in the new show Chosen alongside Milo Ventimiglia. Oh, and in case you didn’t already know, he’s not really Jamaican.

If there was anything that needed fixing, John Henton’s character, Overton, was there to lend a helping hand. Sweet, friendly, and always obliging, he was the Mr. Fix-It of the group (and their brownstone building’s actual resident handyman), and Synclaire’s sweetheart and eventual husband.

The actor and stand-up comedian continued working on the ABC sitcom, The Hughleys, until its conclusion in 2002. However, in 2000, Henton suffered a tragic car accident that ruined one of his eye sockets, smashed both his legs, knocked out most of his teeth, and tore his stomach. Luckily, doctors were able to fix his face, and they had him back at work on The Hughleys less than two months after the accident. Since then, Henton has focused on stand-up comedy—although he did have a guest appearance on Hannah Montana in 2009.

T.C. Carson’s character, Kyle Barker, was a successful stockbroker, a self-proclaimed ladies’ man, and a very snappy dresser with a sharp wit that often aided him in his constant verbal sparring with Max, who was both his “rival” and on-again-off-again lover.

Since Living Single, Carson has since become more of a voice actor, lending his distinct voice to video games such as the God of War series, Mortal Kombat, and various Star Wars and Star Trek video games. He also reprised his role as Kyle Barker—along with Erika Alexander, who played his Kyle’s love interest, Maxine Shaw—on the FOX sitcom Half & Half.

Though she wasn’t the first choice to play Synclaire James—the role was originally to be played by Queen Latifah’s friend and collaborator, British rapper Monie Love—Kim Coles was hilarious as Synclaire, Khadijah’s sweet (but slightly spacey) cousin, who was an aspiring actress and Troll doll lover.

After Living Single, Kim Coles continued to appear in various TV sitcoms. She was a guest star in shows such as Frasier, The Geena Davis Show, My Wife and Kids, and One on One. She was also a contestant on the reality TV show Celebrity Fit Club. She was recently on the ABC Family comedy Baby Daddy.

Erika Alexander brought a lot of fierce wit to the show as Maxine Shaw—a smart, stylish, and acid-tongued attorney who constantly showed up at the brownstone (she actually lived across the street) to catch up with the other girls and flirt—or cause trouble—with Overton Jones (played by John Henton).

Since the conclusion of the sitcom in 1998, the actress has mostly done TV guest appearances. Her work includes guest-starring roles in CSI: Miami, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Criminal Minds, and Suits, she's been most recently seen on Last Man Standing.

By then a famous singer and rapper, Queen Latifah landed her first starring role on Living Single, where she played twenty-something Khadijah James—a career-driven editor and publisher for the fictional magazine, Flavor. Like many women her age, Khadijah was constantly trying to find a man… and after five seasons, she eventually ended up with her childhood best friend and on-again-off-again lover, Scooter (played by Cress Williams).

Twenty years later, the actress, singer, rapper, entrepreneur, etc. (she’s been very busy) remains the most successful of all the cast members of the show, earning critical acclaim both in music and acting. Since the conclusion of Living Single, Grammy winner Queen Latifah has amassed various awards and nominations for acting—including an Oscar, Emmy, and Golden Globe nomination—for her roles in the 2002 musical film Chicago and the TV movie Life Support.
