  • Trivia
    It is frequently mistaken that LaVan Davis is married to actress Cassi Davis in real life, but it is false. They portray a married couple on Tyler Perry's House of Payne as Curtis Payne and Ella Payne, and a couple in the play Madea Goes to Jail as boyfriend and girlfriend. They can both also be seen on the movie Daddy's Little Girls.
