After seeing the article this morning about Marlon Wayans starring as Robin in a potential third Tim Burton movie, we roped our good friend into our morning show today.
Actually, Marlon was in town to perform stand up at the Funny Bone in Perryburg, Ohio.
If not for seeing the Robin article, I might have gone with the hackneyed line of questioning involving White Chicks and In Living Color. Instead, we immediately jumped into how exactly things fell apart for him and more importantly - not knowing the vicious Internet backlash against the F4 reboot w/ a black Human Torch - how did he feel about the social responsibility of taking a six decade old icon and portraying it in a different race long before any such producer or actor has been so brazen.
Marlon also shared exactly how much he was paid for role. EXACTLY, as in take home pay to the cent...and what he did did with it.
This pic is from Rick Keel, talent manager at the club, and below that is our time with Marlon our show The Morning Rush.
