Black Celebrity Men

Damon Wayans Jr. arrived at The Other Guys premiere looking as handsome as his father and namesake. DWJ co-stars in the film alongside Samuel L. Jackson, The Rock, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. The movie opens nationwide on Friday, August 6th. .

Damon Jr. will also co-star in a new ABC sitcom called Happy Endings which will air on the network in 2011. Happy Endings revolves around a group of friends who deal with the aftermath of two of them breaking up at their wedding. Damon's character Brad is involved in an interracial relationship with actress Eliza Coupe's character Jane.

Below are photos of the two of them (along with the rest of the cast) discussing the show at the Television Critics Association press tour earlier this week.

Below are pics of Damon Wayans Jr., Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson on the set of The Other Guys. Set in New York City, The Other Guys follows Detective Allen Gamble (Will Ferrell), a forensic accountant who's more interested in paperwork than hitting the streets, and Detective Terry Hoitz (Mark Wahlberg), who has been stuck with Allen as his partner ever since an embarrassing public incident with his quick trigger finger. Allen and Terry idolize the city's top cops, Danson and Manzetti (Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson), but when an opportunity arises for the Other Guys to step up, things don't quite go as planned.

The movie hits theaters on August 6, 2010.

One of the many, many, many offspring of the first family of comedy is featured in a recent issue of HM magazine. It's Damon's son, Damon Jr., who made his big screen starring debut in Dance Flick which is in theaters now...and yall it's funny as hell. Once again the Wayans didn't disappoint me! He stars alongside his uncles Shawn and Marlon and his aunt Kim. Damon Jr.'s cousin, Damien Dante Wayans directed the film and his other cousin Craig Wayans co-wrote the film with Damien, Keenen...and the rest of 'em. Talk about keeping it all in the family! That's a lot of Wayans on one screen! Them damn Wayans are something else! If they know how to get anything, it's money...oh and jobs for their family members!

Anywho, he has been in the entertainment industry for a minute now. He (and his brother Michael) had a recurring role on My Wife & Kids and later landed a job as staff writer on the series becoming at 20, the youngest staff writer on television, according to imdb.com. After the series ended, Damon went on to perform stand-up under the moniker Kyle Green (Kyle is his middle name; and Green is his grandmother's maiden name). Damon Jr. said he didn't want to use the Wayans name for fear of being judged just because he's a Wayans. Kyle Green was basically a name he used to avoid pressure and to help him get familiar with doing stand up. Now performing under his birth name, Damon says he will continue doing stand-up as well as more acting and writing. I wish him well and hope to see more of him real soon. He's a really funny dude. And he looks and sounds exactly like his father!
