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

227 was Baldwin’s only regular acting role.
Aside from his long-running appearance on the beloved sitcom, Baldwin also had a guest role in an episode of Family Matters.
This much-loved 80s/90s sitcom is best remembered these days for the quirky character of Steve Urkel.
Baldwin reprised his role as Calvin Dobbs on the comedy sketch show A Black Lady Sketch Show in 2019.
Shoot The Pitch Roll The Clip
Baldwin took a starring role in the online sketch comedy show Shoot the Pitch Roll the Clip.
In the show, Curtis portrayed himself and took a humorous look back on his previous acting career, poking fun at his best-known role as Calvin Dobbs on 227. Baldwin also acted as the director of the first episode.
