Alfonso Ribeiro – 49 – Host

Everyone has to start somewhere, and for Alfonso Ribeiro, his acting career began with his Broadway debut as the titular character in The Tap Dance Kid – he was just eight years old at that point. Soon after, he landed a few on-screen works, mostly for commercials. One was for Pepsi, where he appeared alongside the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson.

After a few more minor gigs here and there, Alfonso achieved a skyrocketing degree of popularity with his breakthrough role in the TV show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, portraying Will Smith’s on-screen character’s cousin, Carlton Banks. Along the way, the actor also worked on other projects such as Silver Spoons, In the House, and Spell-Mageddon. He’s still quite active in the entertainment industry, with one of his most recent stints was in Dancing with the Stars’ 19th season. With that said, Alfonso has also done a few directing gigs along the way for titles like KC Undercover, Mighty Med, and Young & Hungry.
