In the House was a popular sitcom in the 90s that warmed the hearts of many. Its five-season run was fairly successful and also featured a star-studded cast. Unleashing the comedic chops of LL Cool J to the world, the series enjoyed a pretty remarkable run. While a reboot is unlikely, reruns have kept many households entertained. However, it’s always common to wonder what the cast of the series is up to today, especially since some of them have drastically reduced on screen.

LL Cool J
LL Cool J already had a prolific music career before starring as Marion Hill on In The House. Though he played a character with financial troubles, LL Cool J’s career hasn’t slowed down in decades. He’s widely considered one of the most iconic rappers of all time. Since the end of In The House, he has guest-starred on various game shows and even hosted a few. He has been married to Simone Johnson since 1995 and they have four children together. These days, he is best known for his long-running role as Special Agent Sam Hanna in the NCIS franchise, which he finally retired this year after 14 years.
Following the conclusion of In The House in 1999, LL Cool J kept the music rolling with his eighth album, G.O.A.T. This was his first and, to date, only album to top the Billboard 200 charts. By his 11th album, Todd Smith, his music penetrated younger listeners, particularly with the radio hit, “Control Myself,” featuring Jennifer Lopez. However, on the music front, he hasn’t released any new albums since 2013’s Authentic.
LL Cool J has rightly received his flowers over the years. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2016. He also became the first rapper to receive the Kennedy Center Honors in 2017. Likewise, LL Cool J was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
