I just purchased the What's Happening 1st season on DVD 2day I couldn't help but notice that actor Haywood Nelson resembles Prince in a very strange way. I heard somewhere before that they were distant cousins. Does anyone know this to be true? Just curious...

I kinda thought he did when he had the afro and looked young and self-conscious. I doubt they are related though.

If anyone has the picture of him from school with the afro...and a picture of Dwayne...they look sooo much like each other!!

I've said this for YEARS!!!

Dwayne Dibley!?!

That's totally what I thought this thread was about - that's why I clicked on it.

Incidentally, Danny John Jules, who plays the Cat (and Dwayne Dibley) in Red Dwarf, is a Prince fan. I worked on the Red Dwarf magazine in 1993, and met with him prior to his single Tongue Tied. We talked about Prince, Seal, and Omar (remember him). He also used to be a back-up dancer for George Michael, if I remember correctly.

Seems to me like Danny based some of the Cat on Prince. Especially the dress sense. Omar didn't seem to live up to the expectations that people had for him

i was thinkin dwayne dibley, too!!!
