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.

If you’re a fan of Martin, you know Garrett Morris’ character — Stan Winters — was an integral addition to the show. But as seasons progressed, he disappeared…and doesn’t know why.

According to Jasmine Brand, Morris’ end on Martin might have happened quite abruptly — to say the least. Even while Garrett Morris was in a particularly troubled situation, allegedly there was no sympathy for the actor.

Remember When ‘Stan’ Was Hospitalized?…

Well, it really happened. According to the source, in 1994, Garrett Morris was robbed in real-life. During the robbery, he was shot and hospitalized.

NOTE: This happened during Martin‘s second season. Did you ever notice how you saw less of “Stan”?

Supposedly, they tried to make the situation work. However, Morris ended up missing several episodes of the show due to his injuries.

“So while he was recovering in the hospital, he shot a few scenes to tie up his storyline with the reason being that Stan was about to undergo plastic surgery to escape the IRS,” Jasmine Brand mentions.

Likewise, in season three, he made one more appearance on the show before totally disappearing. But why would he phase out like that?

It Happened While In The Hospital…

If you thought it was wild that Ice Cube’s “Craig” got fired on his day off, imagine actually getting fired while recovering from a gunshot wound. This is what Garrett Morris says happened to him.

The actor — in an exclusive with Netflix‘s Strong Black Lead, a show geared toward shining examples in the Black community — says Martin Lawrence didn’t do the things he told reporters regarding his incident.

According to Morris, Martin said he was by Garrett’s bedside in tears. Yet, the actor basically says Lawrence is stretching. The source quotes Morris as follows.

“The man who produced ‘Martin’ was basically Martin Lawrence. After I had no bad words with him, still to this day, I do not understand why he decided to fire me. While I was in Daniel Freeman Hospital.”

“Not only did he fire me when I was in the hospital itself, but then went around telling people in interviews that he came and sat by my bed and cried and stuff like that,” Garrett Morris continues.

The source also notes that publications have reached out to Martin for a comment on Morris’ statements. However, the pending Bad Boys for Life actor hasn’t responded.

ILOSM fam’ remember the kid actor, Marcus T. Paulk? You may not know him by name but if you know anything about 90s sitcoms, you definitely know his face.

‘Martin’ Loves The Kids:

Paulk had a hilarious guest role on Martin Lawrence’s sitcom, Martin. Paulk played the role of Martin’s long lost son and he was perfect for the role- he had major swag as a kid and he had the ‘Martin ears’ and features that bared a striking resemblance to Lawrence’s. Young Paulk even did a helluva job depicting some of Lawrence’s mannerisms. He cracked us up on the show and it was a shock to viewers that he was NOT ‘Martin Payne’s’ son.

Everybody Say ‘Moesha!’

After starring on Martin, Paulk landed a recurring role on the hit show, Moesha, where he played ‘Myles Mitchell,’ the younger brother of singer/actress Brandy’s character, ‘Moesha.’ Fans were able to laugh with Paulk as we watched him mature and grow for six seasons.
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Marcus Paulk on the television screen, but that hasn’t stopped fans from wondering about what he’s been up to. Things are a lot different for the man who used to be the cool kid on TV, he’s still cool, but has a few different careers these days…and the ladies seem to love him…

WAIT TIL YOU SEE HIM NOW AT 31

This is actor, Marcus Paulk, today. He’s 31 years old now and has his hands in q few career pots so to speak. Check out his different careers nowadays…

Marcus Owns A Modeling Agency:

Marcus Paulk has his own modeling agency called Model Mafia. The company is based in Los Angeles and it is comprised of photographers, film and music video producers, models, actors, and more. Paulk collaborated with a woman named Queen Sheba and they promise to provide top notch services.

He Raps

Not only does Paulk have a modeling agency but he is also a musician. Paulk discussed on Instagram that his new single, My Time Is Money, is available on Itunes for purchasing. In addition, Paulk starred in a movie alongside Amber Rose called Sister Code. Paulk produced music for the soundtrack as well.

He is Still Acting!

While Paulk may dabble in different things, he still hasn’t strayed away too far from his first love: acting. He recently shared a photo of himself and reality star, Masika, on the set of the film his starring in titled, “Bomb Pizza.”

In 2017, he also shared a photo of himself alongside Laurence Fishburne where he promoted the new audio scripted drama Bronzeville. Bronzeville is the brainchild of actors Larenz Tate and Laurence Fishburne. Set in the 1920’s, the drama explores how African-Americans migrated from the South to the North to build a life for themselves is Chicago. It’s unclear if Paulk is acting or if he’s behind the scenes.

After the departure of Moesha, Paulk had a few hiccups as he transitioned from child star, into adulthood. He’s had a couple legal issues in recent years: In 2015 he pled guilty to a misdemeanor DUI after an altercation at a Super Bowl party; and in 2013 he was charged with domestic violence against his girlfriend in which he plead no contest to one count of battery. However, Marcus Paulk seems to be on the straight and narrow path these days because there have been no reports that he’s been arrested since. It’s good to see him acting again and venturing into other career fields. We wish him the best on his continued journey toward becoming a better version of himself each day…he seems to have learned from his mistakes.

We’ve all heard rumors surrounding tension on the set of Martin sitcom back in the day, but the rumors we mostly remember hearing were about how Martin Lawrence and Tisha Campbell-Martin couldn’t get along for nothing. We never really heard that there was some major tension between actor, Carl Payne (“Cole) and Martin. So much so that they were going at on many occasions on the set and Carl has now confirmed that.

A few months ago, Carl sat down with ThisIs50.com and let the cat outta the bag about what was really happening behind the scenes that we never detected on the show. Read some of what he said below and you can also check out what else he had to say about it here (contains some graphic language)…
