OMG! Remember Steve Urkel? Sure you do! He was the high-pitched super-geeky nerd who wore large, thick eyeglasses, high-waisted pants held up by suspenders, and multi-colored cardigan sweaters on ABC’s Family Matters.
Originally slated to have been a one-time only character on the show, Steve Urkel, as played brilliantly by Jaleel White, became the show’s most popular character.
What is this funny man up to these days? He is back in full gear, starring in a new web series on Hulu which he has also written and produced: Fake It Til You Make It. The series chronicles Reggie Culkin (White), a former child star-turned-image consultant, who tries to help three Hollywood wannabes find the fame they always dreamed of. Go here to watch a clip of the show and for a full-length interview with Jaleel conducted by Hulu. But viewers beware, Jaleel no longer plays a sweet boy next door. Instead, he plays a racy, super sex-crazed Los Angeles type. And the video is for mature audiences only.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, the girl in the picture with Jaleel is one of Celeb Magnet’s field reporters, JJ.
