Marlon Wayans doesn't wait for acting opportunities -- he creates them.
Wayans' latest creation is one that is very close to his heart and his life.
"Marlon" premieres Wednesday on NBC and stars Wayans as "Marlon Wayne," a social media sensation who is co-parenting with his ex, played by Essence Atkins.
At 45, Wayans is himself a dad and said the show is "eighty-seven percent" based on his actual life.
While chatting with CNN the actor shared,
"I write and produce out of necessity, which is a gift. If I didn't, I would be waiting in a long line with other actors."
