All he needs is that one killer blockbuster role and he'll be back on top. C'mon, White. You got this.

What is he complaining about? There are hundreds of actors out there that can't even get a role, much less one on a show, much less one where he basically headlined the entire show. Yeah, it's humiliating to play Urkel, but why is he biatching to random websites when he could be taking smaller roles and making a name for himself?

He was great in San Francisco International.

\Clu Gulager FTW!

Jaleel White, who played Steve Urkel on Family Matters says that he demands respect.

Sure, just invent a time machine, go back in time, and prevent your past self from playing Urkel. Problem solved!

I have some questions. First, what exactly is he demanding respect for? And second, has no one explained to him that respect is not something that can be demanded, that it has to be earned?

Sounds suspiciously to me like the weird kid is now a weird grownup. Here's hoping he somehow stumbles into adulthood someday.

/And HELL no I didn't let my kids watch that insipid crap of a tv show. But you probably could have guessed that. :)

PYROY: There just isn't that much demand for sleepy eyed black guys in showbiz these days.

Wyatt Cynac.

Oblig. (new window)

He didn't say he demanded respect. Article subby linked to and it's link to another identical article it ripped off, have no mention of him saying so. Misquote or lie.

Hey his big comeback roll was big fat liar

Winner winner chicken dinner.

FirstNationalBastard: Yeah, and I bet Donnie Most wants people to quit calling him Ralph Malph, but that ain't gonna happen either.



Actually it's Don Most now...

I though Jerkle died in Vietnam.

He should ask Aretha Franklin how to get some.

BKITU: Contrabulous Flabtraption: Wasn't he on House recently. The prison ep?

Yup. He was the guy pushing the cart that House approached to get the "release tax" quantity of Vicodin.

Did he do that?

Urquell already has my respect, damnit!

Wow a guy who wore suspenders and his pants to his armpits until he was 23 is wondering why he gets no respect?

,,,,thought it was an article about Obama.

Anyone remember "Grown Ups"? No, not the Adam Sandler movie, but the UPN show JW had with Meow Mix guy and Giovanni Ribisi's twin sister.

/Yeah, was about as lame as one would believe.

He should've spun off the Urkel character into a series of comedy/action films, like the movie Rush Hour, except he'd play both roles. That and/or an Urkel series which would be a sort of melange of PeeWee Herman and Mr. Bean.

If he had made the right choices, we may have been able to even avoid several Adam Sandler movies.

Another mistake: not going into politics.

He needs to pitch a show where he is Urkel all grown up. Successful, cool, hot wife, good job, awesome dad to a couple of little Jr. nerd Urkels. He helps his kids navigate through nerdom.
