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…

What He’s Doing Now

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.

In addition to throwin’ down on stage and in the studio, Calvin is still gettin’ down on-screen as well, with some of his most recent on-screen action being the comedy sketch show, “Shoot’ The Pitch.”

Old School Fun Fact

Here’s a random Old School fun fact about Curtis: He and songstress, Faith Evans have been close homies for over 30 years, as is confirmed in Curtis’s online tribute to his friend; as well as in Faith’s memoir, where she spoke highly of her longstanding friendship with Curtis

And there ya’ have ILOSM fam, “Calvin” from “227” has evolved into a true family man and loyal husband, who’s also still out here pursuing his passion while at it. We’re not mad at that one bit…do your thing Curtis!

Remember ‘Calvin’ from “227?” He was ‘Pearl’s’ (Helen Martin) grandson, whom ‘Brenda’ (Regina King) had a crush on, but would finally date him later in the series’ run. Actor, Curtis Baldwin played that role well and at that time, it seemed like he was well on his way to furthering his acting career. However, once “227” went off air in 1990, so did Curtis and many wondered where the brotha had seemingly disappeared.

His disappearance wasn’t sudden though, because he did have several roles in the 90’s. After leaving “227,” Baldwin went on to star in another successful sitcom– in 1989 he’d already landed a role in “Family Matters,” but in 1996 he starred in “Moesha,” as well. Now, he’s onto something different- being a devoted dad to his kids, wife and his new career. Check out how he’s entertaining folks these days, as well as his beautiful family below…
