Damon Wayans Sr. And His 9 Siblings

A large Wayans family is well-known in Hollywood, due to ten talented siblings. They are all doing great in the show-business as screen writers, performers, comedians, etc. Yet, Damon Sr. has succeeded the most. He acted in Saturday Night Live for several years in a row as well as in the Wayans show.

Damon’s dad, Howell was an average man, who worked in one of the supermarkets as a manager. Due to his religious commitments, he wasn’t in touch with the social media even when his kids became popular.

The mamma, Elvira was a social worker by profession with great passion for singing. She was a loving parent for ten kids she had with the husband. Due to the fact that parents were very religious, it was forbidden for the kids to play with others. However, a group of ten was more than enough to create some fun. And that’s where it all started when children were amusing each other with comic talents.

The eldest sibling is Dwayne, who was born in 1956. He works as a composer, yet is not that popular like some other sisters or brothers.

In 1958, Keenen Ivory was welcomed to the world. He is a popular actor as well as a writer and a director. He is successful in personal life too, being a wonderful father to five kids. He and Damon worked together for some time in several hits that brought them fame.

Elvira is a younger sister, who preferred to not be on a screen. Instead, she worked as a writer for the show. She is a mother to two kids.

Kim is another younger sibling, who was delivered in 1961. She is married and is an actress, who was featured in Pariah.

Shawn Mathis was born in 1971 and he is one of the most talented and creative personalities in the Wayans family.

Nadia Haqq is the only sibling, who is not involved with the show-business in any way. She is mostly recognized as a sister of an outstanding comedy star.

Diedre is another sibling to Damon. She is one of the least popular among all of them. But despite this, she works in a show-business sphere as a screenwriter.

Vonnie is another writer, who lives fairly private life, so nothing much is known about her.

Marlon is the last child. He is a popular performer, who is married and brings up two kids with a wife.
