Jaleel Ahmad White (born November 27, 1976)[1] is an American actor. He is best known for his role as Steve Urkel on the sitcom Family Matters (1989–1998)[2] where he was originally intended to make one appearance. White eventually became the main protagonist of the show.
White was the first American actor to voice the Sega video game character Sonic the Hedgehog, doing so in the animated series Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog (also known as Sonic SatAM) and Sonic Underground. After Family Matters ended, White starred in the short-lived UPN comedy series Grown Ups (1999–2000) and appeared in supporting roles in the film Dreamgirls (2006) and on television on Boston Legal, House, Castle, Psych and Bones.
