 Tyler Perry has become an American institution. He is an obscenely successful actor, director, producer, and writer. Tyler Perry tickets take seemingly all forms of entertainment, but always seem to favor modern morality tales espousing the virtues of marriage and family. He was born on September 13, 1969 and raised in New Orleans by a physically abusive father and religious mother. He was actually born Emmitt Perry, Jr., after his father, but changed his name to Tyler to forge his own identity and put his troubles with his father behind him. Perry did not finish high school, and wandered aimlessly until inspired by an episode of Oprah. The guest discussed writing as an act of therapy. He embraced this treatment and began penning play treatments in his early 20s. His first work, I Know I've Been Changed, took six years and countless rewrites before finally gracing the stage at the House of Blues and the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. In the years since, he has taken his Madea series and plays like Why Did I Get Married and the Marriage Counselor along a consistent stage circuit, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in the process. He also adopted a number of his plays for film, beginning with Diary of a Mad Black Woman in 2005. He has become a controversial figure, as critics often pan his movies and plays.

He also has started a television empire on TBS, with Tyler Perry Studios producing Tyler Perry's House of Payne, Meet the Browns, and Tyler Perry's For Better Or Worse.
