Biography
MARLON WAYANS starred in the box-office hit G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Wayans reunited with his brothers while introducing the next generation of Wayans in the comedy Dance Flick, directed by Marlon's nephew, Damien Dante Wayans. Marlon Wayans wrote and produced the dance film parody starring David Alan Grier, Amy Sedaris, Shoshana Bush, Essence Atkins, Wayans' nephews Damon Wayans Jr. and Craig Wayans and featured cameos from Marlon Wayans and siblings Keenen, Shawn and Kim.
Wayans' compelling dramatic performance as drug addict Tyrone C. Love in Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream, led to a role in the powerful independent film, Behind the Smile, directed by Damon Wayans, in which Marlon plays a vulnerable young comic trying to make it in the Los Angeles comedy club scene.
Wayans' film credits also include The Ladykillers, with Tom Hanks, directed by The Coen Brothers, Little Man and White Chicks, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, Senseless, The Sixth Man, and Norbit, the latter directed by Brian Robbins.
Wayans and his brothers wrote the books 101 Ways to Know You're a Golddigger, 101 Ways You Know It's Time to Get Out Of Your Mama's House and 101 Ways to Know You're Having a Ghetto Christmas.
Continuing the success of Wayans Brothers Entertainment, a company he began with his brothers Keenen and Shawn and producer Rick Alvarez, Wayans continues to develop projects for television and film.
Wayans attended the prestigious High School of Performing Arts in New York before studying at Howard University's Film School. From there, he headed out west to join the cast of Fox's Emmy Award winning comedy series In Living Color, which aired from 1990-1994, before creating and starring in The Wayans Bros. sitcom, which aired on the WB network from 1995 to 1999.
