Whether you’re a fan or not, you can’t deny the longstanding presence of Tyler Perry in the TV and film space. From his plays in the early 2000s to his popular shows nowadays, Perry’s pen has remained a consistent force in the industry.
And why wouldn’t it be? With nearly 30 films under his belt over the years and several television series that garner thousands and thousands of viewers, it’s clear audience’s appetite for Perry’s creativity isn’t going anywhere any time soon.

Amid all the tweets, Instagram comments and more, there’s one thing that’s abundantly clear: Perry knows his viewers and his viewers have come to love and respect him for that.
