Angelique Bates[1] (born December 1, 1980) is an American actress, comedian, and rapper who is best known for the two seasons she served on the Nickelodeon sketch-comedy series All That.[2]
Career
[edit | edit source]Early career
[edit | edit source]Bates was born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and is of Haitian and Bahamian descent.[3][4] Bates got her start in a Borax commercial when she was a baby.[2] She subsequently landed an AT&T commercial and a co-starring role in the short film Sweet Potato Ride.
All That
[edit | edit source]In 1994, Bates's agent sent her out to audition for All That, and they liked what she did. She did a Steve Urkel impression, among other things. Following four or five auditions, Bates got the part.[2]
Bates left All That after two seasons; she was the first original cast member to leave the series. She did however return for the 100th episode, along with fellow All That alumnae Katrina Johnson and Alisa Reyes.
In an interview with The Blast in March 2024, Bates said that All That creator Dan Schneider regularly subjected her to verbal and emotional abuse, and that another cast member, whom she did not name, once spat on her on camera.[5]
