The 51-year-old actor thought that Netflix would be an excellent platform to air "Martin's" reboot. Before his interview, Payne's fellow cast members, Tichina Arnold, Tisha Campbell-Martin, and Martin Lawrence raised fans' curiosity when they were seen exiting a social gathering.

UPDATES ON PAYNE

Earlier this year, Nickelodeon, in conjunction with Tyler Perry, set the cast for Perry's new series, "Young Dylan," with Payne playing Myles Wilson, the wealthy patriarch who adopts his nephew.

Dylan's presence in Wilson's home brings about a clash of culture between him, a young aspiring rapper, and Wilson's conventional kids, Rebecca and Charlie.

In 2014, Payne was in the news regarding his split from Melika Payne, his wife of over two decades. Melika had filed for divorce after citing irreconcilable differences.

Melika requested full physical and shared legal custody of their only son. She also asked for spousal support. The duo got married in 1992 when the actor's fame was blossoming.

While Payne keeps up with fans through "Young Dylan," he is also involved in stand-up comedy. Last year, he took his expertise to showbiz lovers at Greenville.
