The Net Worth of Kadeem Hardison

Early Life and Career Beginnings
Kadeem is the only child of catwalk model Bethann Hardison, who is known as one of the pioneers of diversity in the fashion industry. His father Donald McFadden was an antique and fine art collector. Little is known as to how he developed a passion for acting, but he started his career in the early 1980s, appearing in small roles in “ABC Afterschool Specials”, and “American Playhouse”.
While taking in television projects, he also had a few small parts in films, before getting his first big break in the series “” as Dwayne Cleophus Wayne, in the sitcom originally focused on the character Denise Huxtable played by Lisa Bonet, along with the students of the fictional black college, Hillman College. After Lisa left the show during the first season, it focused more on Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert, played by Jasmine Guy. The show has a lot of connections to “The Cosby Show”, and characters from that series made appearances throughout its run. Hardison would stay with the show for a total of 138 episodes – its entire run until the sixth season.
The fact that kids all around the world didn't understand the significance of this scene makes me sad?

Career Prominence
Kadeem made several and had a few film projects before getting his second main role in the series “Between Brothers”, which focused on four African-American men in their late 20s, starring alongside Dondre T. Whitfield. However, the show was short-lived as it only ran for two seasons and 17 episodes before it was cancelled.
In 2003, he had another main role in the series “Abby”, cast as Will Jeffries in the show focused on television producer Abigail “Abby” Walker, played by Sydney Tamiia Poitier, and her relationship with ex-boyfriend Will Jeffries. Despite the heavy promotion, the show attracted few viewers and negative responses, especially for the show’s heavy reliance on sexual humor, and it was cancelled after 10 episodes. During this time, Hardison had another project in “Static Shock”, voicing Adam Evans for seven episodes, and made guest appearances in popular shows such as “My Name is Earl”, and “House”.
