Jaleel White Responds to Family Matters Castmates’ Criticism: ‘I’ve Been Told Not to Argue with My Elders’
Dribbling Jaleel White — who admits he used to drive his Family Matters costars crazy by continually bouncing a basketball around the set — says he won’t push back too much on some cast members’ claims that he was “difficult” to work with because “they’re over 70, and I’ve been told not to argue with my elders from the time I was 12 years old!”
The former child star, now 48, played nerdy Steve Urkel on the show from 1989 to 1998, and has been dubbed hard to work with by former costars Jo Marie Payton and Reginald Veljohnson.
