Damon Wayans Jr. Talks Career & Family’s Legacy: “I Feel Like I’m A Working Actor”
Despite hailing from a comedic dynasty with father Damon Wayans, Damon Wayans Jr. said he still feels he hasn't clinched his place in show business.
The father-son duo, who are headlining CBS’ new sitcom Poppa’s House, sat down with People to reflect on their family legacy and various programs, including My Wife and Kids, which marked Wayans Jr.’s first TV arc (much to his chagrin at the time). “He used to make us be in the scenes, he would be like, ‘And you’re gonna be his friend, and you’re gonna be his friend,’ and we were like, ‘ Ugh, fine, I’ll go act,'” Wayans Jr. recalled of his father making him and his brother Michael Wayans cameo on the ABC comedy. Poppa’s House airs on CBS Monday nights from 8:30 to 9:00 PM, ET/PT, having landed a full series order from the network back in November.
