Upbeat improvisational comedian-turned-TV
star of shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway?, The Wayne Brady Show (won four
daytime Emmy awards), Don't forget the Lyrics and  Let's Make a Deal, Wayne Brady (net worth – 10
million US Dollars) was born on June 2, 1972 to West Indian parents  in Columbus Georgia, U.S. Nevertheless, he is
also a famous television star with numerous brief appearances in popular
television acts such as Friends, How I Met Your Mother and many more

Raised by his grandmother and aunt
because his military father didn't want to raise him as a military-brat, Wayne
career started in 1986 as a community theater actor. At the same time, he also
started performing at the Orlando Imrpov troupe SAK Comedy Lab.

However, the man who is known for
his trademark deadpan catchphrases and improvisational singing initially wanted
to be a military man  just like his
father. 
If you didn't know, he started
acting in high school just to fight against his heavy stuttering and build
confidence. Luckily, he got a one-liner role in a play, thanks to his generous
friend. Later, he went on to grabbing lead role of the play. 
Later, he graduated from the
University of Miami in 1990 after completing his high school studies from Florida
located Dr. Philips High School in 1989.

Then Whose Line is it Anyway landed
on his doorsteps after an impressive audition and he has never looked back.

Talking about his relationship
status, he has been married and divorced twice. His first marriage ended in
1995 (married in 1993 with Diana Lasso) and his second marriage (Mandie Taketa)
ended in 2006 (married in 2007, has one daughter together).

Talking about his physical configuration,
the American national of black ethnicity is a tall man with the height of 6
feet. Impressively, he has an appreciable body and he has no hair.

Anyway, it’s true that he has
disclosed about him suffering from a serious depression for many years (revealed in a 2014 interview). However,
he decided to move on forgetting/ minimizing his depression after the tragic
death of <a href="/biography/robin-williams">Robin Williams</a> death in 2014. Phenomenal <a href="/biography/robin-williams">figure</a> <a href="/biography/robin-williams">Robin</a> also had his own
tough struggle with depression. He has also credited Mandie for helping him fight his depression. Nevertheless, he and his ex-wife Mandie still have a cordial relation, and they both fulfill their responsibility involved in co-parenting the 2003 born daughter.

One can view his Wikipedia and
IMDB's biography to get more insight on his personal and professional life (including his singing career).

Did you know that 2005 hit British
comedy-drama movie Kinky Boots (inspired from 1997 BBC television fly on the
wall documentary Trouble At the Top which was focused on business failings)
directed by  BAFTA nominated director
Julian Jarold and written by Geoff Deane and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Firth">Tim Firth</a>, is reviving for the
second time?

The first adaptation (musical) of
the 2005 movie Kinky Boots was written by Tony Award winning <a href="/biography/harvey-fierstein">writer</a> <a href="/biography/harvey-fierstein">Harvey
Fierstein</a> and openly gay <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Mitchell">theatre director</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Mitchell">Jerry Mitchell</a>. In 2013, the first
adaptation ( Broadway musical) won several awards including 6 Tony awards and
various awards.

Anyway, in Kinky Boots, there is a
special character called Lola, a drag-queen who helps a bankrupt shoe factory
company to revive.

Point on, Wayne Brady will be
playing the character of Lola in upcoming Broadway revival of the Kinky Boots (musical),
the first adaptation.

The revival is expected to land
similar success as the 2013 Kinky Boots (musical). The good news is that the
revival will be yet again directed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Mitchell">Jerry Mitchell</a>. And, good news for Wayne
is that he will be playing Lola replacing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Porter_(entertainer)">Billy Porter</a>, who won various awards
including the 2013 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role of Lola
in the first adaptation.

Well, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Porter_(entertainer)">Billy</a> decision to leave the show surely
helped Wayne in landing the role. Plus, he also had good terms with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Mitchell">Jerry</a> who
he knew from various other projects. Matter of fact, Wayne previously wanted to
be part of the first musical adaptation . However, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Porter_(entertainer)">Billy</a> was selected for the
role.

However, when <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Porter_(entertainer)">Billy</a> left and Kinky
Boots team called him, he gave an interesting response.

“I freaked out. They didn’t even
finish. ‘Hey Wayne, would you,Kinky—‘ ‘Yes.’ It was
immediate.”

From what we have heard, he will play
kind-hearted and sizzling Lola in the revival effective November 21.
