Martin Gets A Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame

Martin Lawrence Receives High Honors. When you receive such a high honor, it speaks volumes.

The comedian/actor has made us laugh for decades.

His hit show “Martin”has become a cult classic.

Not only that, Lawrence easily made the transition from comedian to actor.

One of his most memorable comedic routines was as host of “Def Comedy Jam.”

It was easy for Lawrence to command the audience as the host.

Countless times, we sat and watched Lawrence steal the show from other comedians.

Whenever Lawrence hosted “Def Comedy Jam” you laughed until you cried.

But it was his breakout role on “What’s Happening” starring Ernest Thomas that got my attention.

He got his start playing Maurice Warfield on the show.

Ernest Thomas aka Raj frequented the restaurant where Lawrence character worked.

Lawrence was a waiter who worked with Shirley. Shirley Hemphill was a waitress at “Rob’s Place.”

The show was centered on three African American teens in Watts, as stated by Biography.

“What’s Happening” include actors Haywood Nelson(Dwayne), and Fred Berry (Rerun).

Also, veteran singer/actor Mabel King and Danielle Spencer aka Dee were also on the show.

Even then, Lawrence had excellent comedic timing.

Fast forward to 1989, Lawrence was casted in Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing.”

As a comedian Lawrence worked the stage at New York’s comedy club “The Improv.”

Shortly after, Lawrence career took off. As the funny radio jock, Lawrence won the hearts of people.
