''The Transylvania Times''.</ref> During his teen years, Lawrence excelled at [[boxing]].<ref name="actors"/> He lived in Maryland, and attended Thomas G. Pullen School of Creative and Performing Arts ([[Landover, Maryland]]), [[Fairmont Heights High School]] ([[Fairmount Heights, Maryland]]), [[Eleanor Roosevelt High School (Greenbelt, Maryland)|Eleanor Roosevelt High School]],<ref name="actors"/> and also [[Friendly High School]] in [[Fort Washington, Maryland]], becoming a Mid-Atlantic [[Golden Gloves]] boxing contender.
Il est connu pour son rôle dans la sitcom ''[[Martin (série télévisée)|Martin]]'', et ses rôles dans des films tels que ''[[Bad Boys (film, 1995)|Bad Boys]]'' et ''[[Big Mamma]]''.


==Jeunesse==
==Career==
Lawrence moved to Los Angeles and found his way to the legendary Kings Wood [[comedy club]]. Shortly after appearing at the Wood, he won a performance spot on ''[[Star Search]]'', a popular show in the United States.<ref name="actors"/> He did well on the show and made it to the final round before ultimately losing. However, executives at [[Columbia TriStar Television]] saw Martin's performance and offered him the role of "Maurice" on the television [[sitcom]] ''[[What's Happening Now!!]]''; this was his first acting job.<ref name="actors"/> Upon cancellation of that show, Lawrence found bit parts in various films and television roles. His breakthrough role was as Cee in the Spike Lee film ''[[Do the Right Thing]]''. Other roles followed in films such as the ''[[House Party (film)|House Party]]'' series and the Eddie Murphy vehicle ''[[Boomerang (1992 film)|Boomerang]]''. During this period, entertainment mogul [[Russell Simmons]] selected him to host the groundbreaking series ''[[Def Comedy Jam]]'' on [[Home Box Office|HBO]]. ''Def Comedy Jam'' gave many comedians (including [[Chris Tucker]], [[Dave Chappelle]], [[Bernie Mac]] and [[Cedric the Entertainer]]) mainstream exposure.
Martin Lawrence est né à [[Francfort-sur-le-Main|Francfort]] en [[Allemagne]], où son père John Lawrence était en service pour [[Forces armées des États-Unis|l'armée américaine]]. À 7 ans, son père termine son service en Allemagne et retourne à Landover, [[Maryland]], près de [[Washington, DC|Washington]]. Après que ses parents se séparent, il voit rarement son père, et sa mère, Chlora, occupe deux métiers différents pour subvenir aux besoins de sa famille nombreuse.


During his stint with ''Def Comedy Jam'', Lawrence appeared in his own hit series, ''[[Martin (television)|Martin]]'', which aired on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox TV]].<ref name="actors"/> The show ran from 1992 to 1997 and was an enormous success. ''Martin'' was the flagship of Fox's Thursday-night line-up, which drew millions of viewers away from NBC's "Must See TV" line-up. He hosted ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' on February 19, 1994, where he made crude remarks about women's [[genitalia]] and personal [[hygiene]]; the monologue was completely edited out of NBC reruns and [[Television syndication|syndicated]] versions, and Lawrence was banned from the show for life. "Martin"'s ratings continued to skyrocket so much that Fox became more of a contender against NBC and came closer to being considered among the top television networks.
Pendant son adolescence, Lawrence excelle en boxe et s'inscrit dans des compétitions régionales de boxe amateur. Bien qu'étant un bon boxeur, la comédie est le domaine dans lequel il excelle; en effet, le jeune Martin est connu à l'école pour ses blagues pendant les pauses entre les cours, et les professeurs lui laissent même du temps pendant les cours pour lancer quelques blagues. C'est un enseignant qui suggère à Lawrence d'utiliser ses talents comiques sur scène, à un club local pendant des soirées ouvertes aux talents.


Lawrence's ''[[Martin (TV series)|Martin]]'' co-star, [[Tisha Campbell-Martin]], filed a lawsuit against Lawrence and the show's producers for [[sexual harassment]] and verbal and physical [[assault]]s. [[HBO|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 in the last two episodes with Lawrence.<ref>{{cite web | title=Rebound: Old School Meets Middle School | publisher=Scholastic | author=Marie Morreale | url=http://teacher.scholastic.com/scholasticnews/indepth/rebound.asp | accessdate=2007-03-26}}</ref> No criminal charges were ever filed and the accusations were never brought to court.
==Carrière==
Lawrence déménage en [[Californie]] et participe au spectacle populaire ''Star Search'' (un ancêtre d'[[American Idol]]). Il finit parmi les finalistes, et bien qu'il ne s'impose pas au final, des représentants de "Columbia TriStar Television" le remarquent et lui offrent d'apparaître dans la sitcom ''What's happening now!!'', ce qui constitue son premier vrai travail d'acteur. En [[1989]], il obtient deux opportunités qui lanceront véritablement sa carrière : le magnat du divertissement [[Russell Simmons]] le sélectionne pour animer l'émission ''[[Def Comedy Jam]]'' sur [[Home Box Office|HBO]] - programme qui donna à beaucoup de comiques un accès au grand public, comme [[Chris Tucker]], [[Steve Harvey]] et [[Cedric The Entertainer]] -, et Spike Lee lui offre un rôle dans son film ''[[Do the right thing]]''


After ''Martin'' ended its run, Lawrence found ample work in comedy films. He often starred as the second lead opposite actors including [[Eddie Murphy]], [[Will Smith]], and [[Tim Robbins]].<ref name="actors"/> Many of his films were [[blockbuster (entertainment)|blockbuster]]s at the box office, including ''[[Boomerang (1992 film)|Boomerang]]'' (1992), (also with him again in "[[Life (1999 film)|Life]]") ''[[Bad Boys (1995 film)|Bad Boys]]'' (1995), ''[[Blue Streak (film)|Blue Streak]]'' (1999), ''[[Big Momma's House]]'' (2000) and ''[[Bad Boys 2]]'' (2003). He also starred in critical and box office failures including ''[[Black Knight (film)|Black Knight]]'' (2001) and ''[[National Security (film)|National Security]]'' (2002). Regardless, his salary steadily increased to over $10 million per film role. He continues to work in film, with such films as ''[[Big Momma's House 2]]'', which opened #1 at the North American box office and grossed almost $28 million its first weekend,<ref>{{cite web | title=Yahoo! Movies - Weekend Box Office and Buzz | publisher=Yahoo! Movies | url=http://movies.yahoo.com/mv/boxoffice/;_ylt=AkYyUfLDqGajIFBbgC242klfVXcA | accessdate=2007-03-26}}</ref> and ''[[Wild Hogs]]'' (2007), in which he plays a bored suburbanite seeking adventure on the open road in a biker comedy alongside [[John Travolta]], [[Tim Allen]] and [[William H. Macy]].
Alors qu'il s'essaye à l'animation dans ''Def Comedy Jam'', Lawrence apparaît dans sa propre sitcom appelée ''Martin'' qui fut diffusée sur la [[Fox Broadcasting Network|Fox]] de 1992 à 1997 et eut un succès important. Lawrence anime également un épisode de ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' de février [[1994]], où il fait des remarques crues sur les organes génitaux féminins et l'hygiène corporelle. Son monologue est même retiré des rediffusions de l'émission, et Lawrence sera banni à vie de ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. Après l'annonce de la fin de la série ''[[Martin (série télévisée)|Martin]]'', Lawrence travaille sur de nombreux films. Il a le premier rôle dans ''[[Bad Boys (film, 1995)|Bad Boys]]'' ([[1995]]) et surtout ''[[Big Mamma]]'' en 2000 dans lequel il joue l'agent du FBI Malcolm Turner, expert en dissimulation qui se cache derrière les traits d'une grand-mère pour le bien de son enquête. Ces films augmentent sa côte à Hollywood et ses cachets augmentent considérablement, atteignant 10 millions de dollars par film. En [[2006]], il tourne la suite, ''[[Big Mamma 2]]'', où il interprète de nouveau l'agent Turner.


In 2006, Lawrence appeared on ''[[Inside the Actors Studio]]'', during which Lawrence briefly brought back to life some of the characters he'd portrayed on ''Martin''.
Il apparaîtra dans la comédie ''[[Bande de sauvages]]'' en [[2007]] aux côtés de [[John Travolta]], [[Tim Allen]] et [[William H. Macy]].


In 2008, Lawrence starred in [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]'s ''[[College Road Trip]]'' co-starring with [[Raven Symone]]. This particular film was his first G-rated film. Even though it was his first film to be G-rated, it is not his first time appearing in a children's film. as well as a voiceover role in ''[[Open Season (film)|Open Season]]'' (2006) opposite [[Ashton Kutcher]].

Lawrence has acted in numerous movie roles and starred in his own television series, Martin, which ran from 1992 to 1997.

Early life

Lawrence was born in Frankfurt am Main, Hesse, Germany on April 16, 1965, to American parents. He was given his first name after civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and his middle name after U.S. President John F. Kennedy.[1] His father, John Lawrence, served in the U.S. Military.[1] After his parents divorced when he was eight,[2] Lawrence rarely saw his father, who worked as a police officer at the time.[3] His mother, Chlora (née Bailey), began working several jobs to support her family.[4][5] During his teen years, Lawrence excelled at boxing.[1] He lived in Maryland, and attended Thomas G. Pullen School of Creative and Performing Arts (Landover, Maryland), Fairmont Heights High School (Fairmount Heights, Maryland), Eleanor Roosevelt High School,[1] and also Friendly High School in Fort Washington, Maryland, becoming a Mid-Atlantic Golden Gloves boxing contender.

Career

Lawrence moved to Los Angeles and found his way to the legendary Kings Wood comedy club. Shortly after appearing at the Wood, he won a performance spot on Star Search, a popular show in the United States.[1] He did well on the show and made it to the final round before ultimately losing. However, executives at Columbia TriStar Television saw Martin's performance and offered him the role of "Maurice" on the television sitcom What's Happening Now!!; this was his first acting job.[1] Upon cancellation of that show, Lawrence found bit parts in various films and television roles. His breakthrough role was as Cee in the Spike Lee film Do the Right Thing. Other roles followed in films such as the House Party series and the Eddie Murphy vehicle Boomerang. During this period, entertainment mogul Russell Simmons selected him to host the groundbreaking series Def Comedy Jam on HBO. Def Comedy Jam gave many comedians (including Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle, Bernie Mac and Cedric the Entertainer) mainstream exposure.

During his stint with Def Comedy Jam, Lawrence appeared in his own hit series, Martin, which aired on Fox TV.[1] The show ran from 1992 to 1997 and was an enormous success. Martin was the flagship of Fox's Thursday-night line-up, which drew millions of viewers away from NBC's "Must See TV" line-up. He hosted Saturday Night Live on February 19, 1994, where he made crude remarks about women's genitalia and personal hygiene; the monologue was completely edited out of NBC reruns and syndicated versions, and Lawrence was banned from the show for life. "Martin"'s ratings continued to skyrocket so much that Fox became more of a contender against NBC and came closer to being considered among the top television networks.

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 in the last two episodes with Lawrence.[6] No criminal charges were ever filed and the accusations were never brought to court.

After Martin ended its run, Lawrence found ample work in comedy films. He often starred as the second lead opposite actors including Eddie Murphy, Will Smith, and Tim Robbins.[1] Many of his films were blockbusters at the box office, including Boomerang (1992), (also with him again in "Life") Bad Boys (1995), Blue Streak (1999), Big Momma's House (2000) and Bad Boys 2 (2003). He also starred in critical and box office failures including Black Knight (2001) and National Security (2002). Regardless, his salary steadily increased to over $10 million per film role. He continues to work in film, with such films as Big Momma's House 2, which opened #1 at the North American box office and grossed almost $28 million its first weekend,[7] and Wild Hogs (2007), in which he plays a bored suburbanite seeking adventure on the open road in a biker comedy alongside John Travolta, Tim Allen and William H. Macy.

In 2006, Lawrence appeared on Inside the Actors Studio, during which Lawrence briefly brought back to life some of the characters he'd portrayed on Martin.

In 2008, Lawrence starred in Disney's College Road Trip co-starring with Raven Symone. This particular film was his first G-rated film. Even though it was his first film to be G-rated, it is not his first time appearing in a children's film. as well as a voiceover role in Open Season (2006) opposite Ashton Kutcher.

At the 2009 BET Awards he appeared in a spoof movie trailer with Jamie Foxx for a fictional movie The Skank Robbers that featured, their respective television characters Sheneneh Jenkins and Ugly Wanda. in 2010, Fox announced that it was producing a film based on the sketch, featuring Foxx, Lawrence, and actress Halle Berry.[8]

In 2010, it was announced that Lawrence would reprise his role as FBI agent Malcolm Turner in Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, the third film in the Big Momma's House series, which was released in 2011.[9]

Actors Eddie Murphy and Denzel Washington were among the 120 wedding guests;[10] Shanice serenaded the couple by singing the Minnie Riperton classic "Lovin' You".[11]

Arrests

In the mid-1990s, during the filming of A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Lawrence lashed out in a violent outburst on the set. He became increasingly erratic and was arrested after he reportedly brandished a pistol and screamed at tourists on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles.[1]

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.[1]

Health problems

During August 1999, Lawrence slipped into a three-day coma after collapsing from heat exhaustion while jogging in 100-degree heat while wearing several layers of heavy clothing.[1] He recovered in the hospital after nearly dying from a body temperature of 107 °F (41.7 °C), his breathing assisted by a respirator.
