Twins Tia & Tamera Mowry are still remembered for their roles in the Disney movie Twitches, leaving many curious about their recent acting endeavors.
Since Tia and Tamera Mowry are best known for their early collaborative acting endeavors, there is an air of curiosity surrounding what they are doing now. Born on July 6, 1978, in Gelnhausen, West Germany, Tia and Tamera Mowry grew up with parents who worked in non-acting fields. However, after the twins grew interested in acting at an early age and asked their mother if they could move to California to pursue it professionally, their mother agreed with one condition: they would have to land an acting gig within a month after they moved.
In the subsequent years, Tia and Tamera Mowry started getting roles in commercials and relatively smaller television parts. They later leveraged these to find their place in bigger productions, which ultimately helped them become the leading characters of Sister, Sister. Even though many of their roles after Sister, Sister have been relatively obscure, the twins remain famous because of their appearances in several TV shows, movies, and reality series.
What Else Tia & Tamera Mowry Did Together After Sister, Sister
Twin sisters Tia and Tamera Mowry first rose to fame when they starred together in the 1994 sitcom Sister, Sister. However, that did not mark the end of their collaboration. In 2000, they shared the screen again in a fantasy comedy movie, Seventeen Again, in which Tia Mowry played Sydney while Tamera Mowry portrayed Young Cat. Before appearing in the fantasy film as the leading characters, the twin sisters also had voice roles in an animated series titled Detention. The two actresses were also seen together in an episode of Full House and Are You Afraid of the Dark.
Much later, in 2005, Tia and Tamera Mowry got to play Alex Fielding and Camryn Barnes, respectively, in the Disney Channel Original movie Twitches. Following the commercial success of the first film, both actresses reprised their respective roles in the sequel Twitches Too in 2007. With what followed, the twin sisters continued working individually on movie and television projects until they were featured in a 2011 reality series named Tia & Tamera. Aired on the Style Network, Tia & Tamera offered an inside look at how the identical twins drew the right balance between their professional lives as actresses and their responsibilities towards their families.
Apart from joining forces in several movies and TV shows as actors, Tia and Tamera also teamed up as musicians. In the early 1990s, they started an R&B all-girls music group called Voices. The group also included Monique Wilson, Arike Rice, sisters LaPetra and LaToya McMoore, and its most successful song was “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!,” which charted at No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100. Unfortunately, the band was commercially unsuccessful and only created one album, Just the Beginning…, in 1992, with three songs, “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!,” “M.M.D.R.N.F. (My Mama Didn’t Raise No Fool),” and “Cloudy with a Chance Of Tears.”
