Tyler Perry is a writer, director and actor (actress too, if you count the roles he’s played in drag). You can see his work in Madea’s Family Reunion, Diary of a Mad Black Woman and I Can Do Bad All By Myself. He leaves behind the Madea character to play Admiral Richard Barnett in Star Trek.
In The Soloist, a news reporter takes an interest in a homeless man with unusual musical talent. A sports journalist decides to write an article that will revive his career and that of a former boxer in Resurrecting the Champ.
Other movies featuring men with the title character’s same last name include Mr. Deeds and Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.
