Marlon Wayans Has Fans Calling For His Oscar After His Surprising "Bel-Air" Performance, And 24 Other Reactions To The Finale Episode
More Marlon, please!
🚨SPOILERS AHEAD: If you haven't seen the Bel-Air finale, you might not want to scroll any further.🚨
For most people, when they hear the name Marlon Wayans, they associate it with oddball comedies, funny stand-up specials, and a family full of comedians.

Which is probably why so many people were surprised to see Marlon playing a serious role in the Season 1 finale of Bel-Air.

And while this isn't the actor's first time playing a dramatic role (i.e., Requiem for a Dream, On the Rocks, Respect), many viewers weren't emotionally prepared to see Marlon as ex-convict Lou, aka Will's dad.

After Will decides not to follow through with the search for his father, Lou shows up unannounced at the Bel-Air mansion. At one point, it seemed like Will and Lou were working toward a peaceful reconciliation as they discussed what little memories Will had of him...
...but their bonding moment went left as soon as Will's mother became the topic of discussion.

Things got heated quick, and I immediately got chills! Both Marlon and Jabari Banks held nothing back when it came to executing this scene. The sense of anger and sadness in the room was palpable with every line they delivered.

And other viewers felt it too! Here's how people on Twitter reacted to Marlon's performance:

i never would have expected will's father to be played by marlon wayans lol. i think he is the best actor out of the whole wayans family. i feel that he is very underutilized as a dramatic actor. the way he steps into his dramatic roles is surreal. bravo 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾#BelAir

Marlon Wayans deserved an Oscar for his work in Requiem for a Dream. Just a reminder to everyone since @MarlonWayans is trending for his awesome performance in #BelAir

The way that things were looking I was definitely adamant that Will would play Lou in the new reboot; but hats off to Marlon Wayans though,he did a great job at playing Lou especially cause it's very rare that you get to see Marlon in a serious light #BelAir

Happy to see Marlon Wayans again. He's a superb, dramatic actor. Please watch Requiem For A Dream. Just once though. Seriously, I've only seen it once. Insanely depressing. Couldn't stomach it...but yeah, Marlon can act his ass off.😐😔

Marlon Wayans really showed up on #BelAir and said "lemme remind y'all that I can do drama real quick." And what's crazy is that his presence made EVERYBODY step their game up. Jabari Banks better get an Emmy nomination just off the finale alone!

@MarlonWayans is the best at comedy, but what about this roles? He hits different! I don't have words for this man, he's absolutely amazing. The best choice I've ever made has been choose him as my favorite actor and comedian. Once again, so proud❤️ #BelAir
Well, it looks like the people have spoken! They're ready to see Marlon in more dramatic roles, and so am I!
