Tyler Perry, the owner of Tyler Perry Studios, shot to fame after his performance in Diary of a Mad Black Woman.
He also became well-known for his comedy character Madea, a tough-talking old lady who has appeared in many of his films.

Tyler has full ownership of many of his films but has historically used Lions Gate Entertainment to distribute them.
