The Real Reason We Don't Hear About Jaleel White Anymore

While we don't hear much about Jaleel White much anymore, he hasn't quit acting consistently — no matter the size of the roles — ever since his breakout role. As much as the actor doesn't want to be typecast, even after more than two decades away from Family Matters, he still hasn't escaped his Steve Urkel image. White's recognizable role will forever be remembered by fans and will surely follow him until his final film.

However, White's time on television sitcoms has since continued on a smaller scale. Though he hasn't been given any starring roles since Family Matters, he's appeared on comedies, such as The Big Big Show and the Disney Channel revival Raven's Home. His recurring appearances in 2019 and 2020 on Raven Symone's reboot series seems to have given him some inspiration for creating his own in the near future.

So, will there ever be a Family Matters revival? White admitted in 2019 that the studio has never spoken to him about it, but his former co-star, Darius McCrary (who plays Eddie Winslow in the famous sitcom), has revealed that he's met with White to figure out how to make a follow-up series happen (via TooFab). White has even publicly teased his own proposal for a reboot, if any development executives happen to be reading. "I have some ideas," he told Q on CBC. "... [That] takes into account that the '90s were a very special time." It sure was for Jaleel White.
