Lamman Rucker is an American actor with partial ancestry to Barbados. He is perhaps best known on the TBS sitcom Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns. Rucker's major role came in 2002 when he assumed the role of attorney T. Marshall Travers on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns opposite Tamara Tunie. He left the series the following year and portrayed Garret Williams on ABC's All My Children in 2005. He has starred in a few of Tyler Perry's productions such as a guest role on House of Payne, the film version of Why Did I Get Married? alongside Perry, Janet Jackson and Jill Scott, as well as appearing in a small role in the film version of Meet The Browns as Vera's adult son, Will. He currently has a starring role on Perry's second sitcom Meet the Browns reprising his role as Will. This time, Will has a much larger role (compared to his part in the movie) having just gotten married to a co-worker. To promote his work in Perry's films, Rucker appeared on The Mo'Nique Show March 14, 2010, and discussed the fear and beauty of shooting at a location so close to water, yet so close to home.
Rucker remains active with a variety of grassroots, civic, and international organizations that focus on the improvement of critically challenged communities in the US. He is represented by D.C. based sports and entertainment attorney E. Lindsey Maxwell II, Esq. The two met in during their college years while in Pittsburgh. Two years ago, Mr. Rucker and Mr. Maxwell formed Black Tiger Edutainment, a company devoted to entertainment ventures and production of independent films. Earlier this year, Mr. Rucker and Mr. Maxwell teamed up with Dallas spa owner, Thai Morrisson, to form a new skin care line called Forplai (www.forplai.com).
