Jaleel Ahmad White

TV shows have a way of incorporating guest stars into their story, though they usually only last for one episode. With that said, there are still rare instances when a one-time-only appearance becomes a frequent member of the cast. One such case was Jaleel Ahmad White’s role as Steve Urkel in Family Matters. Instead of only appearing in one episode, White got to star in 204 of the series’ 215 episodes.

Thanks to the projects he’s worked on through the years, White has accumulated a net worth of $8 million. Other titles he landed an acting credit for along the way include Dreamgirls, Call of the Wild, The Grown-Ups, and The 15:17 to Paris. Besides appearing on camera, White is also regarded in the video-gaming community as the first actor to voice the iconic character Sonic the Hedgehog, having worked on shows like Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Underground. often
