Why do you think Damon Wayans couldn't break out in the same way Eddie Murphy did? Both were SNL alumni's and top tier stand up comics and both got their breakthrough in popular buddy cop movies.

I was watching some of Damon's stand up and then watched Last Boy Scout and I was thinking " why did this dude not become a bigger star." He's funny, had a good look, pulled off the action stuff very well in Boy Scout but it seems like outside of a few 90s movies like Last Boy Scout, Blank Man, Bullet Proof, Major Payne he never got that movie star push or meatier scripts he could handle.
