5He is best known for portraying Carlton Banks in ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', which led to a host of other roles in the same BlackAndNerdy vein such as Dr. Maxwell Stanton in ''Series/InTheHouse''. Despite being known as one of the quintessential Black nerds next to [[Series/FamilyMatters Urkel]], Ribeiro is an accomplished dancer and even appeared in a Pepsi commercial alongside Music/MichaelJackson (the infamous 1984 one where his hair caught fire). From there, he was cast as [[TheDanza Alfonso]] Spears in ''Series/SilverSpoons''. After ''In the House'', he has appeared in multiple TV shows, from sitcom to reality TV, and has become a prominent television host and presenter.
