"Zoom, zoom, zoom! You make my heart go Boom, Boom, Boom."

Protozoa from "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" was basically the the coolest rockstar to come from Outer Space. He was a heartthrob to Zenon and girls and boys everywhere, and we all just wanted to see him sing "Zoom" in concert. Oh, the dream.

For a quick refresher, here is what Protozoa used to look like:

And of course, you most definitely need a refresher of him performing in concert:

ZETUS LUPETUS!

The dreamboat's actual name is Phillip Rhys and he is a 41-year-old British actor. After his groundbreaking role, he went on to star in shows like "24," "Nip/Tuck," and BBC's "Survivors."

I mean, he's still got it going on.

He is such a multi-talent! Rhys' also taken his talents behind the camera, as director and producer of the short film, "The Scarecrow" which is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival this year!

Oh what it was like to be a child of the '90s! Check out more '90s child stars in the gallery below.
