Martin (1992-1997)
One of the trademarks of Martin was Lawrence playing multiple characters in the series, utilizing various costumes. The most notable of Lawrence's other roles on the show was that of Sheneneh Jenkins, a stereotypical "ghetto girl" and owner/operator of Sheneneh's Sho Nuff Hair Salon, whom Lawrence played in drag. Sheneneh was an awkwardly large girl with unladylike tendencies, yet she often characterized herself as a "la-a-a-dy." She lived in an apartment across the hallway from Martin's, and factored into many of the sitcom's stories by making her presence known when it wasn't desired. Her dialogue consistently makes use of phrases such as "aw-awight" and "oh no you di-in't", and her character is generally portrayed as being a troublemaker and a hindrance. Sheneneh also had a "ghetto" loudmouthed girlfriend named Laquita, played by Simbi Khali. Other notable characters played by Lawrence include:
Roscoe: a 10-year-old kid with a consistently runny nose and a smart mouth. Lawrence played the role by standing still on his knees, and attaching shoes to his kneecaps.
Otis: an old, overweight security guard usually depicted as being inept. Despite often screwing up and not seeming to have much knowledge about the real world, Otis is in fact very strong and has been known to beat up offenders, even if it sometimes is at the very last second.
Jerome: a flashy Detroit pimp who makes big entrances, often yelling and singing variations of his own theme-song "Jerome in the house! I say Jerome in the house! Watch ya' mooooooouuuth", upon arrival. He runs a casino, wears a family gold tooth, often parties, and regularly hits on Pam. His nickname for Pam is "Junk in the Trunk" or just "Junk" for short. His nicknames for Gina is "Hi-Yellow" and "Red Bone" or just "red" for short.
Edna (Momma) Payne: Martin's shrill, touchy, berserk mother, who is overprotective of Martin and dislikes Gina immensely. Ironically, this is one of the few roles in which Lawrence does not cover up his mustache with stage make-up. This is probably due to the fact that Lawrence thought it would be humorous to portray an elderly woman as having a thick mustache equal to that of her son.
Dragonfly Jones: A martial arts "expert", who was beaten up in nearly every appearance. He always seemed to owe money to a real martial artist, who was actually a student of his who would then beat him up.
Bob: A white man who works in the marketing department of Gina's company who is best described as a stereotypical "surfer dude". He speaks in a Southern Californian accent mixed with a Texas twang and often uses words like "dude" and "man" even in professional settings. Lawrence achieves his appearance as this character with stage make-up and a prosthetic nose attachment to make him appear White, as well as wearing a long blonde wig to complete the look.
Elroy Preston: The fictional "Godfather of Black Surf Music" who is now basically forgotten and washed up. Preston now works as an auto mechanic, and is best known for randomly breaking into song while performing his mechanical duties. This character often distracts himself and irritates others when reminiscing on things that involve his trademark song. The song consists of Preston singing "Don't you know no good!" over and over.
These characters were generally very popular with audiences, although Sheneneh was the most famous. Lawrence would later dress as alter-egos in his feature films, notably Big Momma's House and its sequel, Big Momma's House 2. As much of Martin was taped before a live audience, the Martin Payne character very rarely shared screen time with Lawrence's costumed alter-egos. Periodically, however, split-screen filming techniques allowed Martin and Sheneneh or Martin and Otis to appear onscreen together.
Martin Pretty much played multiple char's thruout his entire run on his sitcom...
I love Eddie, But I'd debate ya homie...lol

True, but Eddie is damn good w/ playing miltiple characters... My favorite.... He should do a movie about twins or something... Evil Eddie VS. Good Eddie
How u like dat?
-
I think there's a Beverly Hills Cop 4 in the works. That's the kind of shit Eddie needs to get back to. This family comedy shit is "safe" movie-making and does no justice to the edginess that made him so goddamn hilarious back in the day. For every Nutty Professor there's also a Pluto Nash. :-\
