Martin Lawrence
In what was arguably the funniest black sitcom ever, Martin added to the mile-a-minute laughs by dressing up and playing his obnoxious neighbor Sheneneh Jenkins and his callus mother Mama Payne.
In the quasi detective-comedy flick Big Momma’s House, Martin plays a detective who must suit up as Big Momma, a rambunctious country grandmother, in order to get to the bottom of a FBI sting operation.
