We could never forget “Bruh-Man” from the 5th Flo'” on the Martin Show. The way he used to climb through Martin’s and Gina’s window to fix himself a “breh-fuss sammich” and then would tell Martin “Yo Moms in my apaaatment” always stole the show and had us crackin’ up nonstop. We were having a 90’s flashback session here at ILoveOldSchoolMusic, and there’s no way we could talk about 90s sitcoms, without talking about “Bruh-Man”, the character that was played by actor/comedian, Reginald Ballard. Check out what he’s been up to below…

What Bruh-Man Is Doing Now…And His Big Announcement

Big news! Reginald recently announced that the “Martin” reunion show is in the works and the cast is apparently filming now. On his Instagram page, the “Martin” veteran was seated in front of the famous window that “Bruh-Man” oftentimes climbed through to creep into Martin’s and Gina’s crib unannounced. He shared the following on-set clip of the reunion…

In addition to the “Martin” reunion, Reginald has been heavily active on the stand-up comedy circuit and has toured across the country. In recent years, he starred in a stage play about late singer, Gerald Levert’s, life, titled, “Baby Hold On To Me”…which also starred Gerald’s father, Eddie Levert; and singers, Monifah and Alyson Williams. Another gig that had folks talking was Reginald’s feature in rapper, Big Sean’s, video, which was a rap parody of the Martin TV sitcom. Check him out in that video below (Graphic language):

Reginald revealed, in an interview with Laff House TV, that he initially didn’t want to be a comedian, but that it was comedian, J. Anthony Brown, who sparked that comic itch in him when he asked Reginald to introduce the comedians for a show at a Houston, TX comedy club J. Anthony owned.

Prior to making a name for himself on Martin, Reginald had roles in other TV shows and films, such as Class Act (starring Kid N’ Play), the TV show, True Colors, and he was even in Menace 2 Society. Can you imagine “Bruh-Man” rolling with “O-Dog” and “Caine”? I can’t either, but he was and he did his thing.

His Favorite “Martin” Episode Helped Martin When He Was Down

Reginald says his favorite “Bruh-Man” episode was one that seemed like a real-life heartfelt message he was gave to Martin, as Martin was “going through some things” in his personal life at the time. All of the cast and staff knew that Martin was going through some struggles at the time, and Reginald said that scene really hit home for Martin:

Reginald Ballard – “My favorite ‘Bruh-Man’ episode…it really wasn’t that much acting…it’s when I had the dream of the sandwiches and uh…when we walked, when I was leaving out I said [to Martin] ‘Hey man, you need to get you some rest man you look beat down,’ and we really had a moment right there because that’s when Martin was going through some things. And the producers were like ‘Yo, say man, it look like you really was telling him (Martin) you know, he need to slow down.’ And he (Martin) looked at me, he was like “yeah, yeah…” and that was like a real catching type moment.”

We all know the iconic “Bruh Man, from the fif’ floor.” Who could ever forget his character? Well, he recently went back to the beginning about how he got the role in the first place.

According to Reginald Ballard, aka Bruh Man, he had always been a fan of the show, Martin. In an interview with Vlad TV, he says he wasn’t initially part of it. In fact, the entire first season didn’t have him in the mix. “”Bruh Man” didn’t come on the scene until the second season.

“Matter of fact, I was back in Texas…visiting. I was at my friend’s house — Eddie Fowler. And we was watching videos of Martin,” Reginald mentions during the interview. “Bruh Man” continues by stating that it was an episode about “Dragonfly Jones,” one of Martin’s many, alternate characters. Ballard reportedly was on the floor laughing.
