Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry can't stop, won't stop. So at this point, anyone who tries to pigeonhole Perry as simply the guy behind the Madea franchise should absolutely know better, and do better. Perry always has something new up his sleeves. Like the recent 2022 announcement of his four-film deal with Amazon Studios. Like A Jazzman’s Blues, a deeply emotional melodrama starring Solea Pfiefer and Joshua Boone that Perry dropped on Netflix in September. Like the $500,000 donation he made over the summer to the legendary Apollo Theater, which has been a staple of the Harlem community since it opened in 1914. Need we say more?
