“Martin,” which premiered on Fox in 1992, starred Lawrence – who played several characters including Martin Payne, Sheneneh Jenkins, Otis, Dragonfly Jones and Jerome. The sitcom also starred Campbell as Martin’s girlfriend and eventual wife, Gina; Arnold as Gina’s best friend, Pam; and Martin’s two friends, Payne as Cole and Tommy, who was played by the late Thomas Ford.
Arnold said she’ll miss hearing the infectious laugh from Ford, who died in 2016.
“It’s a void. He most definitely missed,” Lawrence said of Ford, who played Martin’s level-headed pal. “We love him so much. May he rest in peace.”
The sitcom came to an end in 1997 amid a rift between Lawrence and Campbell. She accused Lawrence of sexual harassment and reportedly agreed to return to the show’s final season only in separate scenes from him.
Both have since settled their differences and reconciled.
While sitting next to Lawrence, Campbell said she’s grateful to film the reunion special. The actor said she’s still in awe by the show’s popularity after so many years.
“When people still pay homage or revere this show, that does it for me,” Campbell said. “I grew up watching ‘I Love Lucy’ and ‘The Brady Brunch.’ I used to think ’That’ll probably never happen to a Black show,’ but it happened.”
