Alfonso Ribeiro was born in New York on September 21, 1971. Alfonso's family is from Trinidad & Tobago. Although rumor has been that he is of Dominican descent, he has stated in an interview that this is false. Neither he nor his family are from the Dominican Republic; they originate from Trinidad & Tobago. Ribeiro began his career when he debuted on the PBS show "Oye Ollie." After getting the starring role in the Broadway musical "The Tap Dance Kid" Ribeiro was spotted by Michael Jackson who cast him in one of the singer's many Pepsi commercials of that decade. At the age of 10 Ribeiro dabbled as a musician, releasing singles such as "Dance Baby," "Not Too Young (To Fall In Love)", "Sneak Away With Me" and "Time Bomb". It was about this time that he was cast as Ricky Schroder's best friend on the long-running series Silver Spoons (1982). He attended California State University at Los Angeles after the end of the series, and was later cast as Carlton Banks on the popular series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990). An avid race car driver, Ribeiro resides in Los Angeles where he participates in celebrity car races.
Did I steal this idea? That’s a very good question. Define stolen... now if I had taken it that would be physically picking it up and leaving but I didn’t. It could have also been being disrespectful and mean which I am most definitely not. You know, my uncle used to tell me that I was rude before I was famous. My mum however, always told me to follow my heart. And of course it led me here! How lucky for all of you. I’d like to take this time to apologize for anyone who’s thinks I am not a great and powerful man, and I’m sorry that you have a mental issue. Anyway, thank you to all of my followers and fans. I wouldn’t be here today without you. Special shout out to Harry Potter, who of course is my biggest fan. Also to Hermione Granger and Molly Weasley. You two light up my world. Thank you all so much for listening and supporting me through my rough times. You truly all are exceptional human beings. Almost as exceptional as I am but let’s be honest, that isn’t possible. Ta-Ta!
