As long as actor and Scorpio Delroy Lindo has been incredible on the big and small screens, making his film debut in 1976, it could surprise you to learn that he was happily married for many of that point. (Even though he was ravishing in the Spike Lee series and as strong as their chemistry is, Alfre Woodard isn’t his real wife!) The English-American actor, born in London to Jamaican parents but living in the U.S. from an early age, has been married for over 30 years. He married his wife Nashormeh in 1990. They have a son named Damiri, who was born in 2001 (Lindo was previously married to Kathi Coaston).
While chances are you’ll not see all of them together fairly often, Lindo said that family was an enormous motivation for him, including in his decision to pursue not one but two degrees (a bachelor’s degree in cinema from San Francisco State University in 2004 . and a Master of Fine Arts from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study in 2014) after his successful profession in Hollywood had already begun.
“My mom always wanted me to get a degree,” he said while promoting his previous Hulu series in 2023 along with his co-star Kerry Washington. “I used to be involved in acting, but I never had a proper degree. So I did it for me, I did it for my son, and I did it for my mom.
Damiri’s experiences in school were inspired by his father’s experiences. The star encouraged him to also pursue higher education and give his 110 percent.
“He says he saw me working on my master’s thesis, getting up at 5, 6 a.m. and going down to the office. My son saw it,” he said. “It was a special achievement, beyond how proud I am of the work I’ve done as an actor. Earning these degrees was an added achievement that makes me feel more complete and whole.”
But we’re sure that nothing makes the esteemed actor feel more complete than his beautiful offspring. See photos of Lindos, especially Delroy and his wife Nashormeh, over the years.
