William Allen Young directed three episodes of Moesha and The Parkers

William Allen Young played Frank Mitchell in a way that made every teen girl roll her eyes, but it also got every TV watcher talking about strict fathers. He wanted his only daughter, Moesha (Brandy), to stay focused and make smart decisions. He watched her like a hawk to ensure she wasn't doing drugs or getting pregnant.

Moesha was an independent, boy-crazed girl who often made her own rules, disobeying those her dad and stepmom set. This is where the two characters clashed. Young knew how to make Frank dramatic on camera, but he was involved in off-camera work too.

Did you know he directed three episodes of Moesha and The Parkers? His IMDb credits list only two shows under "Director", including his sitcom and its spinoff.

For Moesha, he directed the episodes "Girls Night Out," "To Sleep, Perchance to Dream," and "The Player." For The Parkers, he directed "Cheers," "Mother's Day Blues," and "Sign of the Shaq."

He hasn't directed anything else since, but Young has appeared on various TV shows like The Game, NCIS, Good Luck Charlie, General Hospital, Any Day Now, and more.
