(L) Cast of “227”; (R) Curtis Baldwin a.k.a. “Calvin” of “227”

I Love Old School Music family, y’all know “Calvin” from “227,” right? He was “Pearl’s” (Helen Martin) grandkid who had a thing for “Brenda” (Regina King). Curtis Baldwin nailed it as “Calvin” and seemed like he was gonna blow up in the acting game. But after “227” wrapped up in 1990, Curtis also seemingly bounced from the scene.

He wasn’t done with acting yet, though. He still rocked some dope sitcoms in the ’90s. He was in “Family Matters” in 1989, and then in “Moesha” in 1996. But now, he’s got a new vibe- being a dope dad to his kids, and a new hustle. Peep how he’s making people laugh these days, and check out his fly family below…

So what’s up with Baldwin in 2023, 38 years after “227” was over? His Instagram page, @iamcurtisbaldwin, shows he’s a dope dad of six kids, two with his ex-wife, Carolyn Baldwin. He also has four older kids from before. One of his sons is a rapper and musician, just like his pops.

Baldwin is a music fanatic, and has been chasing his dream as a musician. He always drops videos of him playing the guitar, singing, and rapping on his Instagram and YouTube. He also teams up with other artists and rocks the stage at different gigs. He has put out some singles and albums as well.
