==Early life== Wayans was born in New York City, the son of Elvira Alethia (Green), a homemaker and social worker, and Howell Stouten Wayans, a supermarket manager.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your-roots/blog/keenen-ivory-wayans-interactive-family-tree/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160124005601/http://www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your-roots/blog/keenen-ivory-wayans-interactive-family-tree/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 24, 2016|title=Keenen Ivory Wayans' Interactive Family Tree - Finding Your Roots - PBS|website=PBS|access-date=November 8, 2016}}</ref> He was raised in Fulton Houses, a housing project in New York City, the youngest of ten siblings. He is the brother of Dwayne, Keenen Ivory, Damon Sr., Kim, Elvira, Nadia, and Shawn. His family were Jehovah's Witnesses.<ref>Stein, Joel.

Retrieved on 2012-04-08.</ref><ref>Stated on ''Finding Your Roots'', January 19, 2016, PBS</ref> Wayans went to Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in New York City, the school made famous in ''Fame''. After graduating from high school, he attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., but dropped out after two years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biography.com/people/marlon-wayans-17191548 |title=Marlon Wayans |publisher=Biography.com |access-date=2016-11-08}}</ref>
==Career== Between 1992 and 1993, Wayans appeared with his siblings on the sketch comedy show ''In Living Color''. From 1995 until 1999, he co-starred in the WB sitcom ''The Wayans Bros.'' with his brother Shawn Wayans. He was originally considered for the role of Robin in the 1992 film ''Batman Returns'',<ref>Rabin, Nathan. (February 25, 1998) [http://www.avclub.com/content/node/23240 Marlon Wayans]. The A.V. Club. Retrieved on 2012-04-08.</ref> but it was felt that the film featured too many characters, so his character was omitted. Wayans was then formally signed to the role in the 1995 sequel ''Batman Forever'' to play opposite Billy Dee Williams as Two-Face, but the mid-production change in directors from Tim Burton to Joel Schumacher resulted in both parts being recast and Wayans being paid out (Williams was not yet signed on, but received a penalty fee as his contract for ''Batman'' allowed him the option of reprise), and he still receives royalty payments. He was replaced by Chris O'Donnell. In August 2021, a comic book adaptation of the original concept, ''Batman '89'', began publication, by DC Entertainment, using Wayans's likeness for Robin with his permission, their civilian identity renamed Drake Winston.<ref>{{cite web|last=Mueller|first=Matthew|title=''Batman '89'' Series Would Have Picked Up Where Tim Burton Left Off|url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/batman-89-series-picked-where-153026138.html|website=Yahoo!|access-date=August 10, 2021|date=March 9, 2016}}</ref>
Wayons film roles include the comedies ''Don't Be a Menace'' (1996), ''Scary Movie'' (2000), ''Scary Movie 2'' (2001), ''White Chicks'' (2004), ''Little Man'' (2006), and ''Dance Flick'' (2009), and other films including ''Above the Rim'' (1994), ''The 6th Man'' (1997), ''Norbit'' (2007), ''G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra'' (2009), ''The Heat'' (2013), ''A Haunted House'' (2013) and its sequel ''A Haunted House 2'' (2014), ''Naked'' (2017), ''Fifty Shades of Black'' (2016), ''''Sextuplets'''' (2019), and ''''On the Rocks'''' (2020). Wayans produced the first two films of the ''Scary Movie'' series, in which he and Shawn were credited writers and co-stars. In 2000, he appeared as Tyrone C. Love in ''Requiem for a Dream'' and as Snails in ''Dungeons & Dragons''. That same year, he and Shawn hosted the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards.
In 2006, Wayans produced the Nickelodeon cartoon series ''Thugaboo''.
