Gregg is the nephew of the legendary Wayans Brothers, Keenan, Marlon, Shawn, Damon, and Kim, known as the “First Family Of Comedy.” Gregg comes to Bounce TV, the nation’s first broadcast network for and about African-Americans, after co-starring in the HBO-Cinemax program Zane’s The Jump Off, as well as portraying major roles in the feature films Dance Flick and We The Party. He’s also featured in the upcoming short-subject picture, Bloodthirsty. “I strive to uphold the [Wayans] tradition,” Gregg says. The Wayans family has written, produced, or acted in 17 films and TV shows, including the 1980s comedy showcase In Living Color, the movies White Chicks, Major Payne, Blankman, I’m Gonna Git You Sucka, and the situation comedy The Wayans Bros. On My Crazy Roommate, Gregg plays the role of Sloan Simmons, who is friends with Chloe Lewis (Brittany Richards) and Brooke Chambers (Laila Odom), the roommates of the show’s title.
