Lamman Rucker: 'Meet The Browns' Star Selling Forplai To WomenActor Lamman Rucker is taking a page from Tyler Perry and flexing his entrepreneurial muscle!

The star of the TBS series 'Meet the Browns' has unveiled his new body care line for women and couples called Forplai, which he premiered at a launch event in Dallas during NBA All-Star Weekend.

"My ultimate goal for the line is for it to be a brand that women and couples use regularly and integrate into their daily routine of body care, health and wellness. The true vision behind Forplai is for it to be a tool that encourages people to have purity, passion, peace and power in their lives. Forplai is about self-love, intimacy and positive affirmation," the actor told BV Buzz about the product.

The 38-year-old talent is also starring in a new off-Broadway production called 'Black Angels Over Tuskegee' that opened at New York City's St. Luke's Theater on Feb. 15.

The narrative explores the lives of six men who struggle through the Jim Crow era and emerge with distinction as the first African-American pilots in the U.S. Army Air Forces. Rucker depicts the life of an ex-boxer turned Tuskegee Airman in the production written and directed by Layon Gray.

"Wait until you see it, it's really good," he said excitedly.

The Pittsburg-born talent recently appeared on the hit VH1 reality series 'Let's Talk About Pep.' On the episode, the former 'All My Children' star had a dialogue with his friend, news journalist Jacque Reid about potentially being a sperm donor for her.

"They cut out my full statement to her. The conversation she and I had was edited. It wasn't ever really a 'negotiation' for it to be specifically mine," he confessed. "As a close friend, I told her I'd be 'open to the conversation,' meaning that I wouldn't turn my back on her and would discuss that option and other options as it relates to her wanting a child. She is a beautiful, intelligent, successful sista who will be a great mother someday. Who wouldn't consider her?"

As far as 'Meet the Browns' is concerned, Rucker shared that while he hasn't been given a synopsis of what to expect in their next season, he believes that things will continue to evolve for his TV family.

"I have the feeling that their family dynamic will soon change. I'm estimating that [my character] Will and [my wife] Sasha will eventually move out of the house and have our own house. They'll have more kids and they'll have plenty of challenging scenarios to deal with while keeping Brianna, Joaquin and Mr. Brown under control," he offered, before adding: "It will be a great new season, though, that's for sure!"

Rucker also stars in the upcoming film 'Why Did I Get Married Too,' the sequel to Tyler Perry's 2007 blockbuster 'Why Did I Get Married.'
