Darnell Williams

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Darnell Williams (born March 3, 1955) is an American actor, born in London, England.

Williams played on All My Children as Jesse Hubbard from 1981 to 1988, when his character was shot and killed. His character became involved in a love affair with upper-middle-class Angie Baxter (Debbi Morgan). The characters eventually married and thus Darnell Williams was one-half of the first black supercouple on American soap operas.

He returned to soaps as Jesse-lookalike Jacob on Loving and The City. He reprised his Jesse role on All My Children, albeit in angel form, when he welcomed Gillian Andrassy (Esta terBlanche) into Heaven in 2001.
