Details of Martin Lawrence and the Ticket Luck value

Martin Lawrence is a name synonymous with quality comedy in the Hollywood circuit. Lawrence has carved out a niche for himself with stellar performances on both television & the big screen, playing as second to the lead actor in most cases. The best part about comedy is that you quickly forget it, hungry for more, yet Lawrence’s wisecracks are classic & stay etched in the memory. Lawrence has mastered physical & improvisational comedy, with his spontaneous quips eliciting gales of laughter. He has also tried his hand behind the lens as a director & producer. But it is doubtless his comedic acting skills that raised Lawrence to the status of one of the most bankable stars of the 90s.

 Born in April 1965 to an American father serving in the US Military, Martin Lawrence moved from his birthplace of Frankfurt, West Germany, to Maryland after his parents divorced when he was eight. Lawrence was an excellent boxer in his teens, rising through the ranks to become a Mid-Atlantic Golden Gloves contender. The move to Los Angeles paid immediate dividends for Lawrence, as he made a few notable appearances for the Kings Wood comedy club. After a trailblazing run to the finals of Star Search, Martin Lawrence got his big break when Columbia TriStar Television representatives saw his performances & deemed him worthy of a spot as “Maurice” in What’s Happening Now!!. He broke through in films too & caught the eye of entertainment heavyweight Russell Simmons. Simmons installed him as host of Def Comedy Jam on HBO. FOX’s hit show Martin had Lawrence on board as the protagonist, & it pushed him to unprecedented heights. The show ran from 1992 to 1997 & enhanced his reputation, as major Hollywood films snapped up his signature. Martin Lawrence also performed on Saturday Night Live, though a brush with controversy put an end to his performances. Lawrence had established a name in Hollywood by then, however, & thrilled audiences as he churned out smash-hits such as “Bad Boys” & “Blue Streak”. On the flipside, Lawrence courted psychotropic drug abuse, with his erratic behavior ending in some arrests. His appearances have decreased now, though he does have some new projects in the pipeline, such as the comedy film Back to Africa. Lawrence’s observational comedy style explores everyday problems of the general public, helping the audience identify with him. Spontaneity & quick-wittedness are the trademarks of the improvisational comedy genre he practices, & he has also enraptured crowds with his hilarious physical comedy that uses body postures & crude movement to convey the idea.

Martin Lawrence’s initial appearance was cut short as the sitcom What’s Happening Now!! ended soon after he was included in the cast.  His role as Martin Payne in the hit FOX show Martin propelled him to fame as Def Comedy Jam rattled along on the airwaves to great acclaim.

In Hollywood, House Party & Do the Right Thing introduced him before the brilliant Bad Boys opposite Will Smith drew a warm response. The 2003 sequel also won a lot of renown. Blue Streak & Big Momma’s House (& its hit sequel)cemented his place, & Lawrence has managed to work alongside stalwarts such as Tim Robbins, Eddie Murphy & John Travolta. He has also done a voiceover for the animated character “Boog” in 2006’s Open Season.

Humorous references to crude human sexuality are rampant in his shows. The fiasco involving Saturday Night Live was due to his use of profanity when referring to women’s genitalia & hygiene. Following in the footsteps of various black comedians, Lawrence’s side-splitting takes on racism are numerous. His comical delivery & punch lines are excellent, which is pivotal in him establishing a vocal supportive fan base.
