Tyler Perry as Madea
Tyler Perry is known for two things: being a one man brand and starring as his greatest character creation Madea.

She’s a character the public knows well. So well, in fact, it’s hard to separate Madea from Tyler Perry and to take Perry seriously in anything that’s not a Tyler Perry movie.
