Bentley Kyle Evans began his entertainment career as an actor in Robert Townsend's "Hollywood Shuffle" followed by featured roles in "I'm Gonna Get U Sucka" directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, and New Line Cinema's "House Party". In the ladder portion of the 80's he decided to focus his career on the television side where he landed several guest staring roles on shows such as Family Matters, Head of the Class, Doogie Howser MD, and a host of pilots. It wasn?t until Evans landed a lead role in an ABC TV pilot "Hammer, Slammer, and Slade", where he starred beside Martin Lawrence, Jim Brown, and "ER'S" Eriq Las Salle that he realized the planets where lining up for him. Although the pilot never took off, Evans and Martin Lawrence hit it off as great friends. Evans had an epiphany that maybe behind the scenes was his true calling. He then started writing several spec scripts for shows like ?The Cosby Show?, ?A Different World? and a few original pilots. Nothing ever became of these works until one of his pilot scripts landed in the lap of mega star Martin Lawrence at the time when several networks were looking to develop a sitcom around his talent. Lawrence loved what he saw and immediately arranged for Evans to write for his TV show.
