LOS ANGELES (AP) - Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Will Smith's preppy cousin Carlton on TV's "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," is splitting from his wife of four years.

Ribeiro, 34, filed for divorce from Robin Ribeiro on Wednesday, citing irreconcilable differences, according to Superior Court documents.

He is seeking joint custody of the couple's 3-year-old daughter Sienna, with physical custody going to the child's mother. He intends to maintain visitation rights. The actor also appeared on the TV series "Silver Spoons."

I think that Alfonso misrepresented the character of Carlton on the show. Yes, he was supposed to be nerdy, but he did come off as gay to me. I don't think that he's gay in real life, but Carlton Banks was gay (with those dumb dances and screaming like a girl). He didn't act that way in the first season- there, he was stuck up and nerdy. Will was just as bad when he got into those snapping moments and talking in that girly voice like he was a guest on Men On Film.

I saw her on one of those VH1 things they do when they talk about Celebs. They showed a pic of him and his wife, she's a short blonde woman.
