Dondre Terrell Whitfield was born on 27 May 1969, in Brooklyn, New York City USA, and is an actor, perhaps still best known for being part of the sitcom “The Cosby Show” as the character Robert Foreman. He was also been seen in “All My Children”, “Middle of Nowhere”, and “Between Brothers”. All of his endeavors have helped put his net worth to where it is today.
How rich is Dondre Whitfield? As of mid-2016, authoritative sources estimate a net worth that is at $1 million, mostly earned through his career as an actor, now spanning almost 35 years. He’s been a part of numerous television shows and has won several awards. He’s also appeared in many films, and as he continues his career his wealth will likely increase.
Dondre attended the Performing Arts High School in New York, pursuing an acting career from a young age. However, before fully committing, he once had his sights set on baseball and was a semi-pro baseball player. His passion for the sport can be seen in the film “Mr 3000” and according to him, he seriously prepared for the role.
He started his television career in “The Cosby Show”, playing the love interest of Vanessa Huxtable. He stayed with the show for two years and then became a part of another NBC show “Another World” which ran from 1991-1994. Afterwards, he was cast in “All My Children”, and his role in the series earned him two Soap Opera Digest Awards and three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series. Afterwards he decided to leave daytime television, and then appeared in “The Crew”, which was short lived, and then in “Between Brothers” before focusing on drama as part of “Secret Agent Man”. Many of his projects from this time were short lived, including in 2002, when he became part of “Hidden Hills” which only lasted for a season. He then made numerous guest appearances in shows such as “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Ghost Whisperer”, “Cold Case”, and “Girlfriends”. His net worth was at least stable.
One of Whitfield’s earliest films was “White Man’s Burden”. During the 2000s, he appeared more frequently on the big screen, in films such as “Two Can Play That Game”, “The Salon”, and “Middle of Nowhere”, but he continued making guest appearances in shows such as “Stitchers” and “Eureka” while making films. He also had recurring roles in “Mistresses” and “Make It or Break It”. His latest show is the Oprah Winfrey Network’s “Queen Sugar” which is produced by Oprah Winfrey.
Aside from acting, Dondre’s appeared in several publications, most notably in Ebony magazine along with his wife as part of the publication’s list of ten hottest couples in America. The two also appeared in the film “Pastor Brown” which was released in 2009.
For his personal life, Dondre married actress Salli Richardson and they have two children. Their wedding was very high profile and was considered as one of the most publicized weddings of 2002. The two are featured in an infomercial for Timelife’s Midnight Soul collection.

1 | I thought I was being a man by leaving All My Children (1970). They didn't want to give in to the issues that we have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. When I brought it up, I guess I was like the Marcus Garvey of ABC daytime. |
