Choreographer-turned-actor Darrin Dewiit Henson is adding “poet” to his resume. We love a brother with a head on his shoulders.
Triple Threat
Darin Henson
By Charli Penn · Updated October 28, 2020
Darrin Dewitt Henson is a triple threat. You know him best as sexy street hustler turned father and businessman Lem Van Adams from Showtime’s classic hit series “Soul Food”, but these days the actor boasts many talents beyond the silver screen. He’s an award-winning dancer and choreographer, fitness instructor, and most-recently a poet.

We just keep finding new reasons to love this man! Ladies, get to know Darrin a little better.
