Biography
Marlon Wayans is an American actor, comedian, writer, and producer born July 23, 1972. He rose to prominence through collaborative comedy with his brother Shawn on The WB sitcom The Wayans Bros. (1995–1999), then pivoted to feature films, co-writing and starring in Don't Be a Menace (1996), Scary Movie (2000), Scary Movie 2 (2001), White Chicks (2004), Little Man (2006), and Dance Flick (2009). Beyond parody, his filmography spans drama—Requiem for a Dream (2000), Respect (2021)—and action-horror, including G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) and Him (2025). In 2014, he created the TBS competition show Funniest Wins and co-founded What the Funny, a digital comedy platform with Randy Adams. His NBC sitcom Marlon (2017–2018) marked a solo vehicle as writer and star. Wayans, a Leo [birth fact], operates under life-path 4, suggesting methodical creative construction despite comedic surface. Screenwriters and actors typically balance solo projects with ensemble work; Wayans' career reflects both.
