Where Are They Now The Cast Of Family Matters

Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Remember TGIF? Remember when Fridays were synonymous with laughter, life lessons, and a whole lot of "Did I do thaaaat?" Well, let's take a stroll down memory lane and find out what the beloved cast of Family Matters is up to these days.

The Winslow Family & Co.

Carl Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson)

Good ol' Carl Winslow, the donut-loving, sometimes exasperated patriarch. Reginald VelJohnson will forever be everyone's favorite TV dad, but he's been keeping busy! He's popped up in everything from Die Hard (yes, before Family Matters!), to guest appearances on shows like "Girl Meets World." Imagine Carl Winslow giving Cory Matthews advice? Comedy gold!

Harriette Winslow (Jo Marie Payton)

The glue of the Winslow family, Harriette was a force to be reckoned with! Jo Marie Payton continues to grace our screens. She's lent her voice to animated projects and appeared in various TV shows. She is living her best life and looking absolutely fabulous!

Eddie Winslow (Darius McCrary)

Oh, Eddie, the cool kid with a heart of gold (eventually!). Darius McCrary has continued acting, appearing in both TV and film. Remember when Eddie was all about the ladies and the latest trends? He's traded those in for grown-up roles.

Laura Winslow (Kellie Shanygne Williams)

Smart, stylish, and constantly pursued by a certain suspender-wearing neighbor, it's Laura Winslow! Kellie Shanygne Williams is a true inspiration. She is focused on family and has a passion for education, working to inspire young minds. Pretty sure she's acing adulthood!

Steve Urkel (Jaleel White)

Could we BE any more excited to talk about Steve Urkel? Jaleel White practically became a cultural icon. He's successfully shed the Urkel image, showcasing his versatility in dramatic roles and even reality TV. The Urkel is gone, but the legend is forever.

Extended Family & Friends

Estelle "Mother" Winslow (Rosetta LeNoire)

Sweet Mother Winslow, always there with a kind word and a warm hug. Sadly, Rosetta LeNoire passed away in 2002, but her legacy lives on.

Rachel Crawford (Telma Hopkins)

Harriette's sister, Rachel, brought her own brand of sass and style to the Winslow household. Telma Hopkins has remained a steady presence on TV. She continues to showcase her comedic timing and acting chops.

Waldo Geraldo Faldo (Shawn Harrison)

Eddie's lovable, if somewhat dim-witted, best friend, Waldo! Shawn Harrison has done voice work for various animated series. He's also stepped behind the camera as a writer and producer.

Judy Winslow (Jaimee Foxworth)

Little Judy Winslow, remember her? After Family Matters, Jaimee Foxworth transitioned away from acting for a while. She's since been open about her personal journey and focused on her family.

So, there you have it! The cast of Family Matters, all grown up and doing their thing. From sitcom stardom to diverse careers and personal pursuits, they've each carved their own path. It’s heartwarming to see them thriving!

And remember, no matter where life takes you, always embrace your inner Urkel...just maybe leave the suspenders at home. 😉
