Marlon Wayans news, related photos and videos, and reviews of Marlon Wayans performances. According to Wikipedia: is an American actor, producer, comedian, writer, and director of movies, beginning with his role as a pedestrian in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka in 1988. From 1995 until 1999, Marlon co-starred in the WB sitcom The Wayans Bros. with brother Shawn. Though primarily a comedic actor, he garnered considerable critical acclaim for his dramatic turn in Requiem for a Dream. He has also produced the Scary Movie series and Roll Bounce. He was sharply criticized for his performance in the 2000 movie Dungeons & Dragons as "Snails," the incompetent Rogue.
