M88 Signs ‘House of Payne’ Star Lance Gross (EXCLUSIVE)

As a seasoned film enthusiast, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing about Lance Gross joining M88’s roster! With his extensive resume spanning television and film, his versatility as an actor, producer, and photographer is nothing short of impressive.


Actor, producer, and photographer Lance Gross (“House of Payne,” “Our Kind of People”) is now being represented by M88.

Gross starred in the Fox TV series “Our Kind of People,” produced by Lee Daniels, opposite Yaya DaCosta, Morris Chestnut and Joe Morton. He also won four NAACP Image Awards for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series for his role on Tyler Perry’s long-running sitcom “House of Payne.” His TV credits include CBS’ “Hawaii 5-0” and “MacGyver”; Fox’s “Star”; USA Network’s “Royal Pains” and the Amazon limited series “Too Old To Die Young” from director Nicolas Winding Refn.

In movies, Gross shared the screen with Jurnee Smollett, Brandy, Vanessa Williams in Tyler Perry’s “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor.” He also featured in Lifetime’s remake of “Steel Magnolias,” acting alongside Queen Latifah, Alfre Woodard, Phylicia Rashad and Jill Scott; and alongside America Ferrera, Forest Whitaker, and Carlos Mencia in Fox Searchlight’s “Our Family Wedding.

In 2017, Gross conceived, oversaw production for, and appeared in the digital series “I Switched on My Camera,” which married his passion for photography with a collection of star-studded interviews. This project, developed in collaboration with Essence, showcased big names such as Michael B. Jordan, Omari Hardwick, and Kelly Rowland among its guests.

In addition to M88, Gross continues to be represented by Gersh.
