Went to school with Keenan at Tuskegee Institute and we stayed in the same dorm. He was hardly the funny man that the world knows him now to be. He was an engineering major and a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity (in other words, a smart guy). I remember when he told us that his was leaving school to go to Hollywood to pursue an acting career. We thought he was crazy to leave in his last year of school, but he obviously was not afraid to chase his dream and in doing so, brought his entire family with him to the top!!! It has been wild to watch the low-key, serious guy that I knew and interacted with in college, become the mega super-star, ground-breaking writer, actor and producer that he has become.
I read years ago, the Wayans’ parents didn’t allow them to watch television. So they entertained themselves by acting out skits at home. Thus, comedic stars were born. ⭐️
