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”.

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.
