Right. After sitting through the suicide-inducing Dance Flick yesterday I thought the least I can do is try to work who's who in the labyrinthine Wayans family.
It's the most recent films I'm interested in and I think I've nailed down everyone who's been involved. That said there's still Elvira Wayans, Vonnie Wayans, Diedre Wayans, Chaunte Wayans, Cara Mia Wayans, Michael Wayans, Kyla Wayans, Shawn Howell Wayans, Amai Wayans, Jolie Ivory Wayans, Keenan Ivory Wayans Jr, Nala Wayans, Bella Wayans and Daphne Ivory Wayans who don't quite fit into the puzzle. Damn you Wayans!
Elvira and Howell Wayans
parents of...
Dwayne Wayans (music: Little Man. This pic is from Dwayne's MySpace site but it does look suspiciously like Damon Wayans I know)
brother of...
Kim Wayans (actor: Dance Flick)
sister of...
Keenan Ivory Wayans (director: Scary Movie 1 & 2, White Chicks, Little Man; prod: Dance Flick)
brother of...
Nadia Wayans (who has now 'retired' from Hollywood after 1 film with her brothers)
mother of...
Damien Dante Wayans (actor: Little Man; director: Dance Flick)
nephew of...
Damon Wayans (who wisely doesn't get involved in his brothers films and is quite good)
father of...
Damon Wayans Jnr (actor: Dance Flick)
nephew of...
Marlon Wayans (actor: Scary Movie 1 & 2, White Chicks, Little Man, Dance Flick)
brother of...
Shawn Wayans (actor: Scary Movie 1 & 2, White Chicks, Little Man, Dance Flick)
uncle of...
Craig Wayans (actor: Dance Flick)
Some thoughts on the Wayans family:
1. Contraception is not big in their house.
2. Damon Jnr actually looks a lot more like his Uncle Marlon that his dad Damon.
3. I think that's probably enough Wayans in the movie industry now, thanks.
