Beyond the realm of 'In Living Color',
Keenen Ivory Wayans is known for his work especially as a producer and director in films including 'White Chicks' and both 'Scary Movie' and 'Scary Movie 2'.
Shawn Wayans starred in the box office hits 'Little Man' and 'White Chicks', both of which he also co-wrote and co-executive produced. Shawn also created and starred in hit 90's sitcom 'The Wayans Bros.' and crime comedy film 'Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood'. Shawn began co-writing his string of blockbusters with 'Scary Movie' where he also played the character Ray. Co-written, co-executive produced by and starring
Shawn Wayans, 'Scary Movie 2' was the only sequel in the 'Scary Movie' franchise with direct Wayans involvement.
Tommy Davidson has three Showtimes specials: 'On Strength of New York', 'Illin' in Philly' and 'Takin' it to DC' as well as film credits including 'Strictly Business' (opposite
Halle Berry), 'Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls', and many more.
David Alan Grier helped to create some of In Living Color's most memorable characters, for which he earned Image and Golden Satellite nominations. David also won America's votes as a smooth, debonair, and outrageously irreverent contestant on ABC hit 'Dancing with the Stars."
