Darnell Williams (born March 3, 1955 in London, UK) is an American soap opera actor.
Williams played Jesse Hubbard on All My Children 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 African-American supercouple on American soap operas. Williams won two Daytime Emmy Awards for his work on All My Children in the 1980s.
He returned to soaps as Jacob Foster 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.
He had a recurring role as the counsellor on the primetime drama Felicity.
Currently he works as a director and acting coach for All My Children.
