Jordan Coleman is a star of The Backyardigans and his own movie

You wouldn't know it by looking at him, but 13-year-old Jordan Coleman is kind of a star. As the voice of Tyrone the moose on the Nick Jr. show "The Backyardigans," Coleman brings life to a character beloved by leagues of pre-schoolers. But that's just a side gig. In his free time, this honor role student at Hackensack Middle School is busy saving young African-American boys from dropping out of school. With his earnings from 'The Backyardigans,' Coleman made a film interviewing prominent African-American men - sports stars, rappers, politicians -about the importance of an education.
