Damon Wayans Facts

He was raised in Harlem, New York City.

As a child, Damon was club-footed.

He began his comedic streak in 1982 and the earliest appearance he made in a comedy film was with legendary actor Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop (1984).

In the past, he had lived in Santa Monica and Hancock Park.

Damon was asked to leave Saturday Night Live in 1986 for the grounds of insubordination.

In 1992, Damon was featured in the singer and songwriter Janet Jackson‘s music video for her song The Best Things in Life Are Free.

He was considered for the role of the DC Comics’ fictional character “The Riddler” for the film Batman Forever (1995). However, the role was later given to actor Jim Carrey.

A Canadian-American animated series titled Waynehead was released in October 1996. The cartoon was based on his childhood as a club-footed child and his struggle with growing up in a large family. However, the show did not make it above poor views.

Damon has been nominated for an Emmy Award 4 times for his appearance in the film In Living Color (1990-1994).
