Marlon Wayans

Marlon Lamont Wayans[1] (born July 23, 1972) is an American actor, comedian, writer, and producer.

Wayans partnered with Randy Adams to create What the Funny, an online destination for urban comedy.

Wayans was then formally signed to the role in the 1995 sequel Batman Forever to play opposite Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face, but the mid-production change in directors from Tim Burton to Joel Schumacher resulted in both parts being recast and Wayans being paid out (Williams was not yet signed on, but received a penalty fee as his contract for Batman allowed him the option of reprise), and he still receives royalty payments.

In August 2021, a comic book adaptation of the original concept, Batman '89, began publication, by DC Entertainment, using Wayans's likeness for Robin with his permission, their civilian identity renamed Drake Winston.

[13] Wayans produced the first two films of the Scary Movie series, in which he and Shawn were credited writers and co-stars.

[14][15][16] In September 2017, Variety announced that Wayans would partner with LA-based entertainment company Shots Studios to launch a YouTube channel.

Wayans responded by posting "If [Soulja Boy] had a career he could get cancelled for this type of slander, luckily he ain't been relevant since 2007".
