Marlon Wayans is the baby - or as he says, the victim - of what may be the funniest family in show business. After studying at NY's High School of Performing Arts and Howard University's Film School, he joined his brother's hit TV series, In Living Color. Wayans' natural knack for comedy led to bigger roles. He created and starred in the WB sitcom, The Wayans Bros. and co-wrote and starred in the hits, Scary Movie and Scary Movie 2.

Introduced in a prison cell, Calvin (elastic face by Marlon Wayans, short body by Gabe Pimental and Linden Porco) looks very tough. But appearances, as the first three minutes of Little Man work too hard to say, are deceiving. Yes, he’s a hardened criminal, his pull-up hardened arm tattooed and his teeth dulled by years of liquor and smoke, but he’s ... very little, under three feet. And so, he’s got a problem. No one takes him seriously. As a man.

Marlon Wayans is probably best-known as the youngest member of comedy's ubiquitous Wayans clan, but he's a talented comic actor in his own right. During a short stint on the TV series In Living Color, Wayans made his big-screen debut with brother Damon in 1992's heavily hyped Mo' Money, followed by a performance opposite the late Tupac Shakur in the 1994 basketball drama Above The Rim. Wayans then co-wrote and co-executive produced the uneven but occasionally hilarious 'hood-movie spoof Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood in 1995, during a break from his oft-maligned WB sitcom The Wayans Brothers. Since then, he's made a pair of films, The Sixth Man and Senseless, the latter of which just opened in theaters nationwide. The Onion recently spoke with Wayans about his TV show, the sad demise of Shakur, and why Hollywood won't let a black man play Robin.
