Before becoming a successful film-maker with Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005), he was already the owner of a successful play company that tours the country and caters to African-Americans. His plays are also recorded and sold as DVDs.

His plays often reference The Color Purple (1985), which starred Oprah Winfrey. He credits "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (1986) with inspiring him to write.

Has a 12-acre estate outside Atlanta.

Is the same type of drag performer, a straight man who happens to play a female character, as Barry Humphries, aka Dame Edna Everage.
Personal quotes
"I know my audience, and they're not people that the studios know anything about."

"Hollywood is finally waking up to the fact that people who go to church also go to the movies. ''I'm not sure what took them so long to see that - or how long they'll keep it up." [April 2006]

I have been watching Tyler Perry's plays for years. I'm glad he is finally getting the big screen success he deserves!

Heard what? I know who he is(not personal). He is funny as h*** especially when he plays Madea. I like all of his plays and the two movies he has made. Yeah, the plays are more funnier.
