One of Castile's earliest television appearances was in a long-circulated segment of Totally For Kids, kid safety interstitials that aired on the Fox network's Saturday morning lineup in the early 1990s. The segment had Chris playing a young boy who was being followed by a group of kids (the main characters of the "safety patrol") because he had his named printed on his shirt, as a way to address the dangers of name display for strangers (or possible abductors) to see.

Shortly after, Castile auditioned and became a part of the revamped cast of the Miller-Boyett sitcom Going Places in January 1991. The show never improved in the ratings with the new cast members, in a show that was already starring such talents as Alan Ruck and Heather Locklear, and was cancelled by ABC at the end of its only season. However, Castile and his fellow Going Places cast member Staci Keanan were approached by Miller-Boyett about a new family sitcom that was in development for the fall; both were promptly hired to play biological brother and sister on Step By Step, which they would for the next seven years.

The same year that Castile appeared in both Going Places and Step by Step, the flim Beethoven was released, giving the young actor some movie exposure for a time.


Castile and another Miller-Boyett actor, Jaleel White, have a lot in common career-wise. Both are best known for portraying awkward, nerdy characters on Step By Step and Family Matters respectively. Like Castile, one of White's earliest TV appearances was on another Saturday PSA-like segment, his being a 1985 installment of NBC's One to Grow On. White also had a role on only one sitcom before his famous role as Steve Urkel: the son of Flip Wilson and Gladys Knight on CBS' Charlie and Company (1985-1986).
