Alfonso Ribeiro

Alfonso Ribeiro rose to prominence as an actor, dancer, director, game show host, and TV personality. He gets credits from the shows Silver Spoons, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and In The House, among others. He is also the current host of ABC America’s Funniest Home Video, replacing Tom Bergeron, the host who left 15 years later. At the time, he was a fan favorite, the most beloved actor on TV. However, his shine faded.

Contrary to the career of his co-star Will Smith, Ribeiro didn’t make it big in Hollywood. Despite the success of their TV show, he was left with nothing to do. Why? He was typecast and got forever stuck to the role of Carlton. Sure, he had a few TV guestings here and there, appeared on Dancing with the Stars, and directed a few TV episodes, but these things didn’t help revive his career.
