Jaleel White is best known for playing the role of Steve Urkel as part of the Family Matters cast. His lovable and nerdy character was a true standout due to his squeaky voice, unique walk and hiked-up pants with suspenders.

White starred on the show as Steve Urkel from 1989 to 1998, and was around 22 years old when the hit series ended.

But it almost didn't go that way.Jaleel White writes in his new book, Growing Up Urkel, that he was pitched a reboot around the time that Fuller House, Girl Meets World, and other sequels to Family Matters-era shows were popping up.
