Wayne is also co-authoring the new authorized biography of basketball legend Pete Maravich and served as senior consultant on the Emmy award winning CBS documentary (The Life and Times of Pistol Pete).

Television Viewers have seen Wayne on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborne, Late Fridays, MTV, Premium Blend, HBO's Comedy Showcase, NewsRadio, Living Single, The New Adventures of Robin Hood, Parent Trap 3, and yes, Baywatch.
