Marlon
Wayans is an actor, producer, comedian, writer and film director. His films
have grossed more than $736-million in domestic box office, an average of nearly
$50-million per outing. As a standup comedian, he is selling out nationwide and
adding shows every weekend. He recently hit a career milestone with his highly
anticipated first-ever stand-up comedy special “Woke-ish” which
premiered on Netflix on February 27, 2018.
Wayans
stars in the hit NBC sitcom “Marlon,” which has been renewed for a second
season. The sitcom was the summer’s #1 new scripted series on the Big 4 networks
and was one of the most-watched new summer comedy premieres in the last decade.
Loosely based on his life, “Marlon” is a family comedy centered around a loving
(but immature) father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his
very-together ex-wife, played by Essence Atkins.
Wayans
also stars in the hit Netflix movie NAKED which premiered on the streaming site
last August. Based on the Swedish film, NAKEN, the romantic comedy co-stars
Regina Hall and reunites Wayans with director Michael Tiddes. Marlon, who is
also a writer and producer on the movie, stars as Rob Anderson, a charming
man-child, who wakes up on his wedding day, naked in an elevator, reliving the
hour before the ceremony over and over again. He last starred in FIFTY SHADES
OF BLACK, which he also wrote and executive-produced, in January 2016. Directed
by Michael Tiddes, the film co-starred Mike Epps and Kali Hawk.
In
2014, Wayans starred in the Open Road Films comedy A HAUNTED HOUSE 2, the
sequel to the hilarious and successful film, A HAUNTED HOUSE, which had a
budget of $2-million
and grossed $18.1-million on the opening weekend. Wayans produced A HAUNTED
HOUSE, as well as A HAUNTED HOUSE 2. The sequel, directed by Michael Tiddes, is
now available on DVD. Wayans starred alongside Gabriel Iglesias, Essence Atkins
and Jamie Pressly. The
film is a parody of the "found footage" genre, such as the PARANORMAL
ACTIVITY franchise and THE DEVIL INSIDE.
On
the small screen, Wayans hosted the hit NBC show “I Can Do That!,” a
comedy/variety series where six celebrities are asked to put on an
entertainment show with skills they didn’t even know they had. He also starred
in and created the TBS hit comedy competition series “Funniest Wins.” In 2014,
he embarked on a national comedy tour with his brothers Keenan, Damon and Shawn
Wayans. This marked the first standup tour for the four Wayans Brothers in many
years.
Wayans has also launched the online venture, What The
Funny, with internet serial entrepreneur and Funny Or Die co-founder Randy
Adams. What The Funny serves up urban comedy from established and emerging
comedians, writers and actors through its web site at WhatTheFunny.com.
