In Tyler Perry's House of Payne, LaVan Davis plays Curtis, the self-anointed king of his castle who looks forward to spending nights with his queen, Ella. Curtis welcomes his nephew’s family into his home reluctantly because he feels that his house is already overcrowded with his college-age son, Calvin, who never seems to spend any time at his own apartment. When his home suddenly begins to resemble Grand Central Station, Curtis will do anything to get a little peace and quiet.
