From 1995 until 1999, Wayans co-starred in the WB sitcom The Wayans Bros. with brother Shawn Wayans. Though primarily a comedic actor, he garnered considerable critical acclaim for his dramatic turn in Requiem for a Dream. He has also produced the first two films of the Scary Movie series, in which he and Shawn were credited writers and co-stars. He was sharply criticized for his performance in the 2000 movie Dungeons & Dragons as “Snails,” the incompetent Rogue. It should be noted that he was only on set for Dungeons & Dragons for four days. He filmed all his scenes and left to work on Requiem for a Dream- a role he had to fight for as the director and writer for the movie didn’t want him for the role. Determined, he went days without bathing and dressed the part of a junkie for his audition.

The Coen brothers were the guys that got picked on and said in a nasal voice ‘Oh, tomorrow I am going to come back and have some really funny jokes for you.’ They learned to be funny that way, so there’s really no difference between the two. I think we are cuter though.Marlon Wayans’s Award:Razzie Awards: Worst Actor, LITTLE MAN 2007
