Where Did They Go? Jaleel White

Who used to watch Family Matters on TGIF?  Fucking everybody.  That's who.  Jaleel White was the originally dorky character Steve Urkel (later to nerdily transform himself into Stephan Urkelle), and my question is: Where did this dude go?!

I'm not saying he was the greatest every, but c'mon, Steve Urkel!

Go to Google.com and type in "Jaleel White", and you'll notice that "Jaleel White Dead" is the second most frequent option.  Does my search end here?  Is Jaleel White Dead?


No.  No, he is not dead.  But still, where's this dude?

The answer is that he has still been acting, but in UPN Tyler Perry-like shit most normal human beings are physiologically unable to endure.  You might have seen him recently in Psych's episode called "High Top Fade Out", I believe it is on the USA Network.  He also appeared in 2006's Dreamgirls (allegedly).

Maybe he has a website that we can find out more... (I swear to god, this is the real website, I wish this were my work)... Let's go to Jaleel's webpage... OK!  We DID find you Jaleel.  You're surprised, I can tell.  Wait, this guy blogs for NBA.com?!  Jaleel White: Writer, Actor, Producer, NBA.com Blogger.

Writer first, Actor second, and last but not least, Alive third.

If you are interested in booking Jaleel White for a television show, or a movie you have (or a Sweet 16 or Bat-Mitzvah) you can check this link here for his full resume, seriously?  Great Talent?  C'mon!  Dudes URKEL!  He's the cream of the talent crop.  Number 37 on VH1's Top 100 Greatest Kids Stars!

*NOTE* - When you click on "News and Articles" from Jaleel's website, the most recent news articles reference the end of November, where various online periodicals list anyone who might have once been someone's birthday (it's November 27, 2009 if you want to send him a card, or a Facebook poke).

Let me leave you with "The Urkel".  Family Matters, what a great show.  Also brought us Reginald VelJohnson * in his 252nd appearance in a show as the somewhat overweight African-American Police Officer (Family Matters, Die Hard, Turner & Hooch, Ghostbusters, seriously, this guy was born for the role).  Classic, simply classic.



*EDITOR'S SIDE NOTE* - BuDaChick got a few parakeets a little while back and I was able to name the 2nd one - I decided to name the parakeet Reggie, short for Reginald VelJohnson the 2nd - I'm dead fucking serious.
