Is This Jaleel White?

image A photo of a young, trendy-looking guy has been doing the email rounds (click here for a larger version), with the caption: "This is Jaleel White." Jaleel White, of course, is better known for playing the character of super-nerd Steve Urkel on Family Matters (I've also heard many rumors that he plays the Mr. Six character in those Six Flags commercials, but I don't think that's true). I guess people are just amazed that White wouldn't be more like Urkel in real life. As for whether the picture really shows Jaleel White, I'm not sure. There's a recent picture of him on his blog on NBA.com. I guess it could be him if he shaved his hair off. (via thighs wide shut / You Can't Make It Up)

This whole thing is silly! I think it's more than clear that the dude in the picture is NOT Jaleel White. I ain't never seen Jaleel in person, but I've seen Family Matters and I've seen REAL pictures of him and that Patrick guy looks nothin like him! Now I don't know if Jaleel is really dead, but if it was the dude in the picture that was found, then Jaleel is still alive. And another thing...it sent a chill down my spine to read that a note that said "Did I do that?" was found next to the dead body...that's scary because that was a line always said by Steve Urkel when he did something wrong. I will end this by saying that I hope this is all just a big hoax and that I hope Jaleel White is alive and well. 😊

That pic isn't him. I'm sure NBA keeps and updated pic of him for his columns.

Look here at the small pic:

You haters!!! Whoever wrote the article full of lies is an idiot. It upset me soo much after reading it I had to do research for myself. JW is a wonderful actor and it isn't right to start rumors especially about death. Life is tooo short for that.

why did he do it
Posted by unknown  on  Sat Jun 03, 2006  at  02:40 PM
wow I never thought some people like him/her would make up some news that never happened. eventually.. that's not steve ukrel. last time I've checked, he is married, probably had kids along the way.. of course, ratherly he wanted to keep his celebratity on low-profile. get over it, do sumthing better than this bull. its even funny.

Jaleel White is neither gay or dead. That bald head dude above is of some hair stylist who favors him a lot. He is also supposed to be starting in some movie called Miracle Dogs. Entertaining, but those rumors are not true.
Posted by Truth  on  Sat Jun 03, 2006  at  09:36 PM
First of all, that is not Jaleel White. I do not believe he is dead. There has been nothing in the news about it. He is a popular celebrity and his demise would be reported all over the news. If there is anyone who knows him personally and know the truth, please let all his fans know.
Posted by Erica  on  Sun Jun 04, 2006  at  07:54 AM
Big Tone,

I wondered the same thing, how could he have died Monday when there is something posted for Tuesday on the Blog. But the date is May 30 2005.
Posted by Erica  on  Sun Jun 04, 2006  at  08:04 AM
DannyC,

I think you are very ignorant. How could that possibly be funny.

JALELL IS NOT GAY ! HE WAS/IS, I'M NOT SURE DATING MY COUSIN ! THEY MET AT CAL-BERKLEY AND HAVE BEEN DATING !

Posted by Syreeta Barry  on  Sun Jun 04, 2006  at  10:44 AM
no i don't belive that is jw one reason is from the fact that eb from long beach is a big fat liar. how can you work for an ad agency and you spell it "add agency". not only are you a walking falsehood but you are not very smart about. l.b. c ya!
Posted by robert  on  Sun Jun 04, 2006  at  01:08 PM

That is SOO not Jaleel. that picture is horrible. Why does that man have a pair of Parasuco jeans on??? I mean really.
Posted by MissP  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  10:27 AM
If Ed from Long Beach really worked for an advertising agency he'd know it was Ad and not Add...DUH

He obviously didn't take the picture which only further proves that this is a hoax
Posted by DC  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  10:33 AM
Okay, enough speculations and suppositions. Who has read any valid communication from say a UP Wire release, newspaper, etc. stating that Jaleel AKA Steve Urkel is in fact dead? Let's search for the facts yall! God bless and my condolences to his family if this is true and my apologies to them (for ingnorant, insensitive people) if it is not.
Posted by Emee  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  10:33 AM
Ummm...yeah this is definitely false..the fact that they said a note was left behind saying "did i do that" shouldve tipped every1 off...including myself...some people have way 2 much time on their hands 2 be making up rumors about actors being gay, or dead...GET A LIFE!!!
Posted by Kalika Glover  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  10:54 AM
Jaleel is not dead. I am his first cousin. This rumor initially caused some panic in our family members who live out of state and saw this article. The rumors have caused panic and it's not cool. Jaleel is alive and kicking and currently working on a project. When you spread trash like this, please remember that people have families that can be upset by what you are posting.

Thanks

ED's claim that he knows this picture is authentic because he took it for an "ADD" agency can be easily dismissed since this dude can't even spell the abbreviation for advertising. It does not look like Jaleel to me & I check these types of things at google news when I receive them. Recall the Christopher Williams death rumor a few months ago.
Posted by Tonya  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  12:15 PM
i say that it was very cruel for someone to play a dumb joke like that on anyone. especially when you say his line from the t.v. series "did i do that" that wasnt right at all and to say he's dead! you dont play with death and sickness on anyone!!1
Posted by joan  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  12:35 PM
According to a couple of websites I've seen, this is a hoax. And no, Jaleel White is not gay. We always seem to hate on our people when they become rich and famous.
Posted by Black Phoenix  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  12:55 PM
tHIS IS REALLY STUPID. WHOEVER THE REJECT IS THAT IS SPREADING THIS KIND OF RUMOR REALY NEEDS TO GROW UP AND GET A LIFE. NOT ONLY IS THIS NOT FUNNY BUT IT HURTS TO EVEN THINK THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED EVEN IF IT IS ONLY FOR A MINUTE. IF YOU WANT TO SPREAD RUMORS AND PICTURES, PUT YOUR OWN PHOTO OUT THERE AND WE'LL SPREAD SOME RUMORS ABOUT YOU.
Posted by MISS ANN  on  Mon Jun 05, 2006  at  01:28 PM
Not him in that picture. It's really sad to spread such bad rumors.

Posted by lolita  on  Wed Jun 07, 2006  at  08:02 PM
That definetly is not Jaleel. This guy looks gay.
Posted by K  on  Thu Jun 08, 2006  at  07:18 AM
This guy puts off a different definition. I know that he is not Mr. White. Mannerism tells the truth.
Posted by Maria  on  Thu Jun 08, 2006  at  01:12 PM
For goodness sakes. Why are people so desparate that they have to lie like this? We'll pray for ya! Wow! I'm happy to know that Jaleel White is fine.
Posted by Judy Bloom  on  Sun Jun 11, 2006  at  09:42 AM
That negates the theory that all black people look alike. Get glasses people!!!

:coolsmile: WORD UP, FAMILY MATTERS WAS THE FUNNIEST SHOW EVER AND STILL IS. One of my favorites is when I saw you and the other young lady going to the prom. That episode is dedicated to anyone.

"you dont play with death and sickness on anyone!!1"
Yes I do!!1. That catch phrase as his suicide note is a blaring red flag that this is a fake. I've been spreading this message about to see how many people are actually duped. You'd be suprised. Calm the fuck down.

That's definitely him.
Posted by A. Gurl  on  Thu Jun 15, 2006  at  08:42 PM
I don't think that he killed himself but I am absolutely certain that is him in the picture.

Posted by Jaleel.A.White  on  Wed Jul 12, 2006  at  03:43 PM
It doesn't look a bit like him except for the skin tone and height; but overall I don't think it's him.
Posted by Motherof1  on  Wed Aug 09, 2006  at  11:16 AM
That aint him! That guy looks like a broke Kanye West!
Posted by Jon  on  Sat Sep 02, 2006  at  07:13 PM
I do not think that is him. The picture looks like him from a distance, but what about close up?
Posted by Barbara  on  Mon Dec 04, 2006  at  11:09 PM
