Martin Lawrence
Martin Fitzgerald Lawrence (born April 16, 1965) is an American actor, comedian, director, and producer. He came to fame during the 1990s, establishing a Hollywood career as a leading actor. Lawrence has acted in numerous movie roles and starred in his own television series, Martin, which ran from 1992 to 1997.
He married Patricia Southall, a former Miss Virginia, in January 1995. They divorced in September 1996. Lawrence has a daughter with Southall named Jasmine Page, born on January 15, 1996. Lawrence also has two other daughters, Lyana and Ameria, born in 2001 and 2003.
In 1996, Lawrence’s Martin co-star, Tisha Campbell-Martin, filed a lawsuit against Lawrence and the show’s producers for sexual harassment and verbal and physical assaults. HBO Studios settled the lawsuit so the show’s final season could be completed. Campbell-Martin agreed to complete the season on the condition that she not appear in any scenes with Lawrence.
While filming A Thin Line Between Love and Hate in the mid-1990s, Lawrence had a violent outburst on the set and began taking psychotropic drugs. He became increasingly erratic and was arrested after he reportedly brandished a pistol and screamed at tourists on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles. He was also arrested at Burbank Airport for carrying a loaded gun in his suitcase. In March 1997, Lawrence was arrested again after assaulting a man in a Hollywood nightclub.
