He has some funny lines, and it's fascinating to see a baby Jaleel in a pre-Urkel role. He looks very different from his long-time role on Family Matters, and one wonders what it would have been like if he had been on Saved by the Bell instead.

2 House-8.8

In 2011, Jaleel White guest-starred on the season eight opener of House. By this point, he had already done several more serious roles in his career, so this one made sense.

White plays a prison entrepreneur named Porter who tries to help House obtain twenty Vicodin as an exit tax. A prisoner named Mendelson and his white supremacist gang take all the Vicodin together, so the plan doesn't work.

1 DuckTales-8.9

Jaleel White has done plenty of voiceover work throughout his acting career. An animated Steve Urkel got to hang out with Scooby-Doo in 2019. White then lent his talent to a 2020 episode of the new DuckTales. Fans young and old have been excited about this reboot.

The episode "Quack Pack!" puts Donald, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Scrooge, and friends into a fictional sitcom called Quack Pack! Jaleel White voices a character named Gene the Genie, who grants Donald Duck a wish.
