As Kid 'n Play, the duo received a lot of success. Not only did they release three albums — 2 Hype, Funhouse, and Face the Nation — but they also went on to become movie stars as well (via Gazette Review). Both Christopher Martin and Christopher Reid starred in the hit movies House Party, House Party 2, and House Party 3 (via IMDB). Play later starred in the 1999 film Rising to the Top and didn't appear in another project until 2009 when he had a cameo in a short film by Shaggy titled Shaggy: Street Bullies Riddim.

According to AmoMama, Play married Shari Headley in May 1993 and was divorced by June 1995. The pair share a son, Skyler Martin, who was born in April 1994. In July 2001, per the New York Post, the former rapper was ordered to pay $159 a week toward the $42,000 of back child support he owed to Headley who is raising their son alone.

As of February 2021, Play is starring in Amazon Prime's original series Church Folks, which is being billed as a "family-friendly sitcom centered around the day-to-day lives of people working at a struggling megachurch."  Play portrays Zach Murphy, who once attended "an unnamed Bible College" and left his six-figure corporate job to work as the church's outreach director (via IMDB).
