Damon Wayans | Actor, Writer, Producer
October 24, 2024 - For the next decade and a half, Damon became his own "Man on Film." He was Bruce Willis' partner in the noticeably violent crime thriller The Last Boy Scout (1991); wrote, executive-produced and starred as a former conman trying to mend his ways in Mo' Money (1992), which also featured younger brother Marlon Wayans; expanded his "In Living Color" handicapped superhero character Handiman into feature-length form with Blankman (1994); played an in-your-face drill sergeant in the aptly titled Major Payne (1995); co-starred with Adam Sandler as a policeman bringing in a petty crook (Adam Sandler) in the action comedy Bulletproof (1996); joined in the basketball-themed Celtic Pride (1996); and stretched his acting muscles in Spike Lee's comedy-drama Bamboozled (2000).

Why do you think Damon Wayans couldn't break out in the same way Eddie Murphy did? Both were SNL alumni's and top tier stand up comics and both got their breakthrough in popular buddy cop movies.
Ready? This is easy. Blankman (1994) - lost money Major Payne (1995) - lost money Celtic Pride (1996) - lost money The Great White Hype (1996) - lost money Bulletproof (1996) - lost money Damon (1998 TV show) - cancelled after 13 episodes Bamboozled (2000) - lost money In fact, all of the movies above COMBINED only grossed $80 million. Mo' Money in 1992 was really his only successful movie with him in the starring role, and still only made $42 million. So that's $120 million for an entire decade of movies with him in a lead role. Eddie Murphy? $316 million on the first Beverly Hills Cop alone. $150 million on The Golden Child. $300 million on Coming to America. Damon Wayans picked shitty scripts. Or he's not as good as Eddie Murphy. Or both. All there is to it. More on reddit.com

I was watching some of Damon's stand up and then watched Last Boy Scout and I was thinking " why did this dude not become a bigger star." He's funny, had a good look, pulled off the action stuff very well in Boy Scout but it seems like outside of a few 90s movies like Last Boy Scout, Blank Man, Bullet Proof, Major Payne he never got that movie star push or meatier scripts he could handle.

Murphy benefitted from years as SNLs biggest star. Wayans was a frustrated background player who got fired early on for breaking character and improvising live on air. But that did directly lead to the creation of In Living Color. So he certainly helped shape modern comedy. It was just harder for him.
