The character Marlon is all about making videos for social media, which means he’s a ball of energy from opening credits to end credits, and apparently that’s just what Wayans is like.
Marlon stars Marlon Wayans as a fun-loving father of two kids — Marley (Notlim Taylor) and Zachery (Amir O’Neil) — that he’s raising amicably with his ex-wife Ashley, played by Essence Atkins.
(Diallo Riddle, meanwhile, excels as the oddball friend Stevie who gets all the weird jokes, which I loved.)
Riddle, a former writer for Jimmy Fallon’s pre-Tonight Show talk show and current writer for Tracy Morgan’s new show, also talked about how Wayan’s kid-like approach was just excellent for the kids as anyone else.
