Jaleel White Biography

Jaleel White is an actor, writer, and producer, with his most notable role as Steve Urkel on the hit TV show "Family Matters." White embarked on his acting career at a young age, with roles in commercials and small television roles. His defining role arrived in 1989 when he was cast as Steve Urkel on "Family Matters." Initially slated for a one-time guest appearance, White's performance garnered a significant positive response from audiences, leading to his character becoming a series regular. This role catapulted Steve Urkel into becoming a cultural phenomenon and one of the most recognizable characters in television history.

White lent his voice to the popular animated series "Sonic the Hedgehog," voicing the titular character, and made appearances in television series such as "Psych," "The Big Show Show," and "House." White also hosted the Syfy game show "Total Blackout" in 2012 and currently hosts the CBS game show "Flip Side," which debuted in 2024. He competed in season 14 of "Dancing with the Stars" in 2012, finishing in 7th place. His filmography includes roles in films such as "Dreamgirls" and cameo appearances in "Boston Legal," "Castle," and "Psych."

In addition to acting, White has ventured into writing, producing, and co-producing. He created, wrote, starred, and co-produced in the web series "Fake It Till You Make It," offering a satirical perspective on Hollywood. White reprised his role as Urkel in the 2019 series "Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?" and voiced multiple characters in "Urkel Saves Santa: The Movie" in 2023, where he served as a producer. Furthermore, he was involved in the production of "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew," released in December 2024.

His career, marked by humor, hard work, and determination, includes awards such as the Outstanding Young Comedian in a Television Series for "Family Matters" in 1991 and the NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Youth Actor/Actress in 1994 and 1995. Off-screen, White launched his line of cannabis products, featuring the Purple Urkle strain, in 2021. In 2024, he published his memoir, "Growing Up Urkel."
