He has five sisters—Elvira, Vonnie, Nadia, Kim, and Diedra—and four brothers—Keenen, Marlon, Shawn, and Dwayne. He was club footed as an infant.

Just listen to what they're saying, because some of them are truly unrape-able. 'You don't want that.' "Get outta here,'" says the author.Career
In 1982, Damon began doing stand-up comedy. In the Eddie Murphy film of 1984, Beverly Hills Cop, his earliest film appearance was a short cameo as an effeminate hotel employee. He appeared on Saturday Night Live from 1985 to 1986 as a featured performer, but he was fired after just 11 episodes for improvising during a live sketch, portraying his character as a flamboyant gay cop rather than a straight cop. (Damon developed In Living Color on Fox Television in 1990 as the flamboyant gay character in this film starring Blake Edwards.) Wayans later confessed that he wanted to be fired due to a lack of creative control and screen time. Wayans continued to say that Lorne Michaels did not want Wayans to do too much and that they should begin comparing Eddie Murphy, who had just returned from the program. He appeared on syndicated television series Solid Gold in the 1980s as a comedian.
Wayans, Keenen, created In Living Color, which had a majority African-American cast. In April 1990, the program first appeared on television. The show continued on until May 1994, but Wayans left the program in 1992 to pursue a film career.
He appeared in films including Mo' Money, The Last Boy Scout, Major Payne, Bulletproof, Bulletproof, and The Great White Hype, as well as In Living Color, and wrote and starred in Blankman. He appeared in Janet Jackson's "The Greatest Things in Life Are Free" and was considered for the role of The Riddler in Batman Forever (the actor played Jim Carney in In Living Color and Earth Girls Are Simple).
He created Waynehead, a short-lived cartoon for The WB, starring a poor boy with a club foot. Due to poor reviews, the show only lasted a season. He appeared on 413 Hope St., a short lived drama starring Richard Roundtree and Jesse L. Martin from 1997 to 1998.
In March 1998, he appeared in the short lived comedy television series Damon, in which he played a Chicago detective. It aired on Fox. The New York Times bestselling book Bootleg, with coauthor David Asbery, was released in 1999; it's a humorous collection of his family's observations.
He was the lead in Spike Lee's Bamboozled in October 2000. Wayans appeared in the ABC comedy series My Wife and Kids from March 2001 to May 2005. He created and appeared in the Showtime sketch comedy series The Underground, which also featured his son, Damon Jr. He also hosted the BET Awards in June 2006.
With "Red Hats," a story of a suicidal sixty-year-old woman who finds love and happiness as she joins the Red Hat Society in 2011, he also added author of a major fictional novel to his resume. Wayans continues to perform stand-up comedy and has created apps for his company of freelancers "MIMS" (Money in My Sleep). The firm created Flick Dat, Diddeo, and VHedz.
