Shawn Wayans Career

He began his career on Fox’s In Living Color, as DJ SW-1 and later became a featured performer, working with his brothers Dwayne, Damon, Keenen, Marlon and sister Kim.

Together with his brother Marlon, Shawn Wayans created and starred in the sitcom The Wayans Bros (1995–99).

Marlon and Shawn also co-wrote, co-executive produced and starred in the feature Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood in 1996, in which their brother Keenen also acted.

He has guest-starred on episodes of Hangin’ with Mr.

Cooper and MacGyver and provided the voice of Toof for the animated children’s series Waynehead. He has also co-starred with his brother Marlon in a hit film Scary Movie (1999–2000) which is directed by their older brother Keenan.

The two (Marlon and Shawn) also starred in another Keenan-directed comedy White Chicks (2004), which they played the role of a pair of FBI agents forced to masquerade as a pair of spoiled white blonde heiresses.

The Wayans family were once Jehovah’s Witnesses – it’s unclear when they left the religion. After doing voice work for the Wayans-created, children's animated series "Thugaboo" (Nickelodeon, 2006), the actor returned to the big screen with 2009's "Dance Flick," a film he co-wrote and starred in as Baby Daddy. The actor played Darryl Edwards, a man who mistakes dwarf criminal Calvin Simms (played by Marlon) for his adopted son.

He was eventually promoted to series regular until his departure at the end of the show's third season.

In 1995, Wayans teamed up with his brother Marlon for The WB sitcom "The Wayans Bros." The talented siblings played mischievous and romantically clueless brothers who share a New York apartment with their father (John Witherspoon).

Wayans achieved notable success in feature films by portraying hilarious and offbeat characters in the "Scary Movie" (2000) franchise and in the genre spoof "Dance Flick" (2009), where the actor delivered some of the most off-the-wall and amusing performances ever seen on screen.

Shawn M. Wayans was born in New York City on Jan. 19, 1971 to Howell Wayans, a supermarket manager, and Elvira, a homemaker.

In the blockbuster series, Wayans played Ray Wilkins, a high school football star who often harbored hidden homosexual feelings for his male friends.

Proving that nothing was scarier than grown men dressed up as blonde socialites, Wayans and his brother starred in "White Chicks" (2004), playing FBI agents who disguise themselves as spoiled, Paris Hilton-inspired heiresses.

The brothers played two FBI agents who, after a botched drug bust, are forced to disguise themselves as white, blonde heiresses Brittany and Tiffany Wilson. In the late 2000s, he participated in the documentaries “Why We Laugh: Black Comedians on Black Comedy”, and “For the Bible Tells Me So”. These days, the “Scary Movie” star is focusing on stand-up comedy and has a handful of upcoming concerts in Texas, which will take place between October and December 2023.

Personal Life & Net Worth

Unbeknownst to many, Shawn has three children named Illia, Laila and Marlon whom he shares with his low-key ex-, Ursula Alberto.

Before breaking out as a television and film actor, Wayans first made his mark as the resident DJ on "In Living Color" (1990-94), the Fox sketch comedy series created by his older brother Keenen Ivory Wayans. Despite being commercially successful, “Little Man” received three Golden Raspberry Awards – also known as “Razzies” and awarded to the worst movies of the year – and was, once again, lambasted by critics.

Since “Little Men”, Shawn has had just one TV role and one movie role, spurring rumors that he had retired from acting.

His nephew, Damon Wayans, Jr., played the lead in this spoof of teen dance movies like "Step Up" (2006).
