Baldwin’s big break into the acting world came on the popular sitcom 227.
The show, which ran from 1985-1990, was adapted from a stage play about the lives of several black women living in a tenement building in 1950s Chicago. It changed several elements of the play, not least the setting, which was updated to contemporary Washington, D.C.
227 was conceived as a vehicle for star Marla Gibbs, who had made a name for herself in the TV show The Jeffersons 1975-1985.
Gibbs’ character in 227, Mary Jenkins, was characterized by her quick wit and sharp tongue.
227 as a whole revolved around the gossip generated by and about the residents of the apartment building at 227 Lexington Place (hence the show’s title).
In the show, Baldwin portrayed Calvin Dobbs, grandson of the character Pearl Shay.
Dobbs was featured in many episodes of the show; Marla’s daughter, Brenda, had a crush on Calvin throughout the show’s run.
Later on, in the show’s run, the two would go on to date.
Other Roles

Baldwin reprised his role as Calvin Dobbs on the comedy sketch show A Black Lady Sketch Show in 2019.
