- Actor Jaleel White was born in Culver City, California, on November 27, 1976. He was raised in the Golden State by his father, a dentist, and his mother, a homemaker and post office worker, who would later go on to become her son’s manager. As a precocious child and on the advice of his preschool teacher, he began acting at very young age. He would make it happen by getting his start on TV doing commercials at three years old. One of his most notable gigs was for Jell-O pudding pops alongside Bill Cosby, who Jaleel would cross paths with again years later. After enrolling in an acting school, he would be discovered by someone who would go on to become the most successful child talent agent of all time also representing stars like The Olsen Twins and Fred Savage. Things really took off for him then and Jaleel admits that’s exactly how things work in Hollywood, it all comes down to who you know.

I don't know what it is, but he gives me very arrogant vibes.
Jaleel came at a time where being the nerd was completely in comedy-wise. Screech, Topanga, Urkel... So he was a part of that legacy. I understand not wanting such a role to take over your life,but he added to quite a legacy for comedy.
He is the part of the reason why I like Family Matters more than The Cosby Show.His character took that show to the top.I loved the whole TGIF line-up.
Steve Urkel will ALWAYS be one of those characters synonymous with an ICONIC TV show. I grew up watching Family Matters CONSTANTLY! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jaleel White also appeared on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air as Derek in the Not with My Cousin You Don't
Same thing happened to Good Times and Fresh Prince. One character took completely over!
He waz so popular on Family Matters that people were calling the show "Urkel" as if it was the title of it. My uncle used to say "What time does Steve Urkel come on?"
R.i.p Michelle Thomas ❤️
The fact Jaleel White is almost 50 yrs old🙄 it dont matter what age he will always be known for Steve Urkel/one of the most iconic characters of the 90s.
He don’t get the credit for the being the original voice of Sonic back in the day either
It really irks me when black folks say,"you're not black enough" and/or "you're talking white", as if they weren't entertained by Steve Urkel 😅.
Jaleel is really appreciated within the Sonic fanbase for being the first voice of Sonic, especially when Sonic's popularity was at it's prime. He voiced him in three different animated series. Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog (commoningly referred to as SatAM) and Sonic Underground.
🤓"Laura....you love me, don't you??!!"😂😂 I used to always look forward to TGIF back in the day.
I had always admired Jaleel White learning more what he went through as a child actor. At least his parent's kept him discipline.
Jaleel White unfortunately is the perfect example of an unfortunate type cast(or one hit wonder unfortunately). The average person only knows him as Steve Urkel. Even Alfonso Rubiero had a successful gig with Americas Funniest Home Videos and other hosting gigs after playing Carlton on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
“Did I do that????” Steve Urkel will forever be iconic. Him and Myra was cute together, as well as Laura 🥹❤️.
Jaleel White also appeared in the movie Big Fat Liar with Frankie Muniz, Amanda Bynes, Paul Giamatti, and Donald Faison
I didn’t know Jaleel’s real name for a looong time. He was Steve Urkel period 😆 FAMILY MATTERS was a wholesome family show that was kinda dry before Jaleel got there and made it funny and worthwhile to watch every week.
I actually watch Family Matters REGULARLY! Thank you HBO MAX & Hulu!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 One of my favorite episodes was when Waldo learns how to tap dance 🕺🏿 😂😂
Excellent story on Jaleel White
