Entertainer Bill Bellamy is a man that is constantly evolving. We grew to know him first as a funnyman with the boyish good looks on HBO’s Russell Simmons’ Def Comedy Jam coining the “booty call.” He became a regular on shows on MTV before he branched out into movies. Mastering being in front of the camera, Bellamy flipped the script to go behind the camera to produce. Now Bellamy is expanding his resume, even more, another first, a stage play.

“A man’s gift will make room for him. It's just that simple. God’s gift of laughter has created this wonderful life for me and to be sunshine to all my fans,” said Bellamy. He is utilizing his gift in Je’Caryous Johnson’s “Married But Single Too” as the ex-lover of the very married Sharon Carter (LisaRaye McCoy), Jackson Kelly. “I come back into her life and try to rekindle lost love only to turn her marriage upside down! Lol,” said Bellamy.

The production that runs March 10-12, 2017 at the Hobby Center picks up where “Married But Single” left off. Sharon dreamed of the day her man would propose so they could live a fairytale life. But life after marriage was not filled with butterflies and unicorns but had thorns and thunder clouds leaving the fate of her marriage up in the air. Finally giving her husband Julian an ultimatum where he has to choose their marriage or his career things are left unsettled leave room for trouble like Jackson. Things get sticky as both Sharon and Jackson are married but single.

How can one be married but single? It’s an interesting thought that Bellamy explains. “My opinion is, it's being in a marriage or relationship and feeling like you aren't getting the attention that it needs. Longing for companionship with your companion,” commented Bellamy. As humans, the need for companionship is something that is natural and that is birth in us from the start of life. This basic need is one of the reasons why social media and chat rooms are so popular today. People just want to be loved, heard, and wanted.

“The message is clear in the play. We all need and want to be loved. It gives you a chance to look at your own relationship and see where you are and how you want to make it better,” said Bellamy. Married himself for sixteen, he knows a thing or two about the matter.

Débuting on the stage is not the only place where Bellamy is treading in new waters. His friend and supporter Tom Joyner asked him to join “The Tom Joyner Morning Show Family.” Listeners can catch Bellamy every Wednesday weighing on the news topping the day and ranting on what’s bugging him in the “Bill’s Beef” segment. Of course, I had to ask what he had a beef with now. “Ben Carson crazy ass!! Talking about slaves were immigrants too!!! Jesus, pray for this Man!!!,” exclaimed Bellamy as he referenced the recent comments by the new Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson.

Bellamy will not be thought of as one dimensional. He wants to keep shocking his fans by doing unexpected things in his career as he keeps chasing an Emmy and an Oscar. “I’m next dammit,” he laughed.

His career continues to be on the rise and cheering him along the way is his wife, Kristen, and children. Something he expressed that he is passionate about. “My family and making sure they are happy and safe. It's a crazy world out here.”
