Jaleel White does NOT regret his part as Steve - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jessica · 08-16-2008, 04:32 PM

Rumours and and weird conversations about celebrities will always exist. But why is there so much about Jaleel White?
Everytime I'm reading news about him it says things like "Is he on a mission to be forgotten?"
Everytime I'm reading that I think like "Ehhh, no." I've read several interviews and seen videos with/about Jaleel talking about his career as Steve Urkel, and has never mentioned that he regret it, or that he wants to be forgotten. He says he loves his character. Yes, he's running away from papparazzis but almost every celebrity do that, cause papparazzis is always on a mission to take a picture and be rich. And when Jaleel is out on a public place, he wants to be himself and not "Steve Urkel of 2008". He choose to play the part, and everybody likes him for that. And the stupid alcohol-talk. Jaleel is anti-alcohol and drugs. What do you think?

And there are also always rumors about him being dead! But the same thing goes for Kel Mitchell of "Kenan & Kel". People keep claiming he's dead too.

Jessica · 08-16-2008, 06:38 PM

It seems it will never stop.

Furienna · 08-16-2008, 06:41 PM

I know. It's so annoying.

Jessica · 08-16-2008, 06:43 PM

Totally! Glad, someone's with me.

I get so annoyed when people actually say Jaleel is dead or that he wants Steve Urkel to be forgotten. That's crap!

Here's what Snopes has to say about the rumors about Jaleel and Kel.

Ooh, yes. So false!!

Schmoopie · 08-16-2008, 07:38 PM

He'd be crazy to be ashamed of the role that made him a star!

Furienna · 08-16-2008, 08:03 PM

But maybe he could have become tired of being recognized as Steve Urkel all the time? There are many actors, who only are famous for one role, and some of them don't want to talk about it anymore.

Jessica · 08-17-2008, 06:44 AM

Yeah, I mean, people still talking about Steve Urkel. Here's a short commentary with Jaleel White about his audition for the role. Yes, he is still talking about it.

He has a very soft voice in real life too.
