Damon Wayans Jr. & Damon Wayans

Damon Wayans has given us some marvelous hits and with his amazing comic timing, the actor has been a favorite of the industry for decades, most endeared for his role as Michael Kyle on My Wife and Kids. It’s no surprise that his son Daman Wayans Jr. has taken up after his father, though instead of turning to writing and producing, he’s more of a stand-up comedian and an actor. Wayans Jr. does do some writing on the side, but he’s most comfortable with acting and his most notable note was in the sitcom Happy Endings where he played Brad Williams. His career path was a good investment for Wayans Jr. because not even famous parents can loan you that much-needed talented sometimes, unless you work hard yourself.
