Shawn Wayans

Coming from a large creative family, actor, producer, screenwriter Sean Wayans is a star of the genre of crime comedies, which are abundant in his rich filmography. Many of his paintings - a real family contract, because the Brothers Sean also became directors, actors and showmen. Although, to be more precise, it was Sean, being a junior, who followed in their creative footsteps. However, this fact does not prevent him from rapidly moving to success and gaining fans all over the world.

Sean Wayans was born on January 19, 1971, in New York City. Father Havel Wayans - a manager in the supermarket, mother Elvira Wayans worked as a social worker, but mainly cared for the house and children, which the couple had ten - five daughters and five sons.

Sean became the couple's ninth child. He is younger than one brother, Marlon, who also became an actor and producer. Among his senior eminent relatives - Kinen Ivory (actor and director), Kim (actress), Damon (actor and writer) and others.

Despite the abundance of children in the family, they grew together. At home between them there was a clear division of responsibilities, besides parents, being religious people, tried to raise sons and daughters in an atmosphere of love and kindness.

However, the school of life Sean and his brothers were held at the street parties of the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea. In 1989, the boy graduated from the Bayard Rustin Humanitarian School.

The young graduate immediately joined the cast of the popular American comedy series "In Living Color" with other brothers and sisters, staged by his brother, Kien Ivory. In this show, viewers of the channel "Fox" for the first time saw the talent of a young comedian, who allowed him to work in the project until 1993.

It must be said that Sean got his first acting experience when he was a schoolboy, in 1988 he played a pedestrian in an episode of the movie "I'll get you, bastard!" After leaving the tv series "In Live Color", Sean briefly appeared in the TV show "Hangin' with Mr. Cooper" in 1993. The brothers themselves played the main roles.

The characters of the sitcom are the Williams brothers, their names are Sean (senior) and Marlon (junior). The guys live in New York's Harlem on 117th Street. But if Sean - serious and responsible, owns his own newsagent, then Marlon - stupid, immature, obsessed with girls lazy and lobster. In each series, the brothers find themselves in different comical situations.

The show was a success on WB channel 4 years, during which Sean and Marlon became famous for other successful projects. In 1996, the brothers wrote a screenplay for the crime comedy "Don't Threaten the South Central, sipping juice in their neighborhood", produced the project and played the main roles in it.

Sean's character is an African-American Trey named Ashtray. He moves to the Los Angeles area of the South Central to his father, who, according to his mother, should teach him life. The hapless guy gets into the thick of events, which for the ghetto are the norm. He is waiting for a gang showdown, escapefrom the police, the cult of drugs, etc.

The film was conceived as a parody of a number of popular militants, in satirical form here played out resonant themes - racism, the rise of drug addiction, unemployment, etc. This work of Sean and Marlon was an incredible success. Created from a budget of $3.8 million, the film earned $20 million in the first week of release alone. And this despite the fact that the critics met the picture in bayonets.

Among the following successful projects of the cinematographer can not be not not noted "Very Scary Movie" (2000) and "Very Scary Movie - 2" (2001) - comedies created as parodies of famous horror films, in particular, "Scream" by Wes Craven. This time the film was directed by Kinen Ivory, and Sean himself was mentioned as a producer and starred.

Wayans' hero - Ray Wilkins, one of the young men who is pursued by a mysterious killer. "Very Scary Movie" has demonstrated unprecedented commercial success - more than $278 million worldwide. Continuation of the comedy, although it was successful, but commercially conceded the 1st part.

In 2004, wayans re-imagined a new work for the audience, the sparkling comedy "White Chicks." Directed by Kinen Ivory, the younger brothers starred.

This time their heroes - black FBI agents Kevin and Marcus, who perform a special mission: guarding two wealthy Wilson sisters at an important event. To the operation went well, the guys did not come up with anything better than to hide the girls, and themselves to act in their role. But to do this, they need to become white and slender "chicken."

The hilarious comedy audience took with delight. And the actors themselves recalled shooting with mixed feelings, because they had to make up for several hours a day and walk in women's clothes and high heels (Sean's height and so 187 cm). The acting duo of Sean and Marlon are so loved by the audience that they no longer perceive them alone. And the brothers do not think to part.

In the next 2006 comedy "Shaloon" they again star together. Sean's hero Darryl Edwards and his wife Vanessa (Kerry Washington) are very eager for a child and adopt a boy who turns out to be a Lilliputian criminal Calvin. He just stole a diamond from a jewelry store and now his goal is to escape from his new parents.

In 2013, the actor takes part in the SERIES "Tonight with Platanito", and in 2016 voices one of the characters in the animated film "Beasts."

In his youth, at the time of bachelor personal life, there were many rumors about the actor, in particular that he has an unconventional orientation. All this continued until he married Angelica zakari. The couple had three children: daughters Lyle (1999) and Illia (2003) and son Marlon (2006), named after his brother.

In 2005, the head of "Divorce" appears in the actor's biography. After parting with Angelica Sean lives alone, but he is not alone. A man periodically appears in public with pretty girls.

Sean is fond of sports and leads a healthy lifestyle, his pumped torso is the subject of admiration of many fans.

Unlike his brother Marlon, Sean isn't very active on Instagram. There are still a few photos and publications in his account.

Judging by the fresh posts and posters of 2019, the comedian is now performing his own show and touring the cities of the United States, as well as fond of the DJ's work. Earned a fortune allows the actor to live comfortably and do what he loves.
