The post Jaleel White Blasted ‘80s Actor, Stoney Jackson, For Doing Him Dirty When He Was “Urkel” appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

We all remember when actor, Jaleel White, was dominating our TV screens in the 90’s. His suspenders rockin’ character, “Steve Urkel,” had a style all his own as he chased after his neighbor, “Laura Winslow” nonstop. “Urkel” cracked us up back in the day, but there was one time when Jaleel took his encounter with actor, Stoney Jackson, as no laughing matter.

If you’re from the Old School, then you probably also remember Stoney. He was one of the main dancers in Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” video. He then went on to star in the series, “White Shadow,” and in the sitcom, “227.” In addition to doing his thing in acting, he was featured in damn near every Black magazine throughout the 80’s and 90’s- “Right On,” “Tiger Beat,” “Team Beat,” you name it. Stoney’s signature jheri curl was damn near just about as famous as he is. That’s what Jaleel White also referenced when he threw shade at him online, while recalling an incident where Stoney played him. Basically, Jaleel is still salty from Stoney rough handling him as a kid. Check out what he said below.

Jaleel White’s Post About Stoney

@jaleelwhite: #BehindTheSitcom & in the spirit of #charliemurphy I will share a story with you. The gentleman actor with the curl & red shirt once did a guest appearance on Family Matters. I was age 14 at the time, maybe. In passing, he noticed me shooting baskets on a portable basketball hoop provided to me by production. Just outside our stage. He approached me casually and politely challenged me to a game of one-on-one while waiting to be called back onto stage for rehearsal. Of course I said yes and could not have been more eager. The game began ferociously, I will never forget. He blocked the shit out of my first shot attempt and wagged his head to serve notice, this would not be some casual co-workers affair. The next 11 points would mark my physical introduction to grown man strength, gratuitous N-words, elbows thrown unnecessarily and an eventual loss for me 😭 At 110 lbs, maybe, I never stood a chance. He snarled at me before returning to stage as if to say, “Little Niglet, you ain’t 💩.” Needless to say my hoop game improved with age and weight; I’d always hoped I would avenge this merciless encounter but our paths never crossed again. The moral of this story is- most performers are slightly touched individuals or batsh*t crazy. Never let a curl fool you. Proceed with caution. And even when you think, “Hey, it’s just a game,” there’s always someone out there with a #mambamentality looking to prove something at ur psychological expense #staywoke 😂 #talesfrommychildhood

Maybe now that this is public, Stoney Jackson might read this and ultimately give Jaleel White one shot to try to redeem himself.

If you’re from the old school era, you probably remember actor, Stoney Jackson and his jheri curl. We were over here wondering what happened to the dude from the ’70s show, White Shadow, so we did a lil’ digging and wanted to share this quick update on him.

Many of you may recall that Stoney also starred in and/or made a appearances in several other TV shows throughout the ’80s and late ’70s, such as 227, M*A*S*H, The Jefferson, Eight Is Enough, and others. Two of his most memorable roles were as in White Shadow and as “Travis Filmore” in 227. He also appeared in TV shows like Everybody Hates Chris, Tales from the Crypt, Walker Texas Ranger, The Hughleys, Modern Family, Psyche and more.

One of his biggest film roles was in Disney’s Angels in the Outfield, which was a hit at the box office.

And who could forget about his hilarious role as “Wacky D” in CB4, alongside, Chris Rock?

Stoney is 61 years young now and he’s pretty much stayed out of the public eye since the mid 2000’s, but it is his current role in REAL life that may be just as fulfilling to him – his job as a basketball referee in the Southern Cali area. It’s been reported that Stoney is presently working as a high school and collegiate-level basketball referee and has apparently been doing so for several years.

Stoney hasn’t completely hung up his acting hat though. Just last year (2015), he co-starred in the Spanish language TV series, Sangre Negra. That’s right our main man Stoney is versatile.

Here’s an old school fun fact about Stoney: He and actor, Mykelti Williamson (the guy who played Lela Rochon’s drunken, obnoxious boyfriend in Waiting To Exhale) have been good friends for several decades.

Also, Stoney is from Virginia, but he got his start in Hollywood after his family moved to Cali in 1976 and opened up a family medical facility there. He then hired an agent and the rest is old school history.

By the way, who remembers the 80’s jam, “I Can Dream About You” from the movie, Streets of Fire? That song was classic and the in the video, Stoney was lip syching the lead part, with Robert Townsend, Mykelti Williamson lip synching the background vocals. Everyone just knew that was Stoney singing for real, but it wasn’t, it was singer, Dan Hartman. The song and video was still off the hook though. Check it out…

If you know anything about the 90’s, then it’s hard to imagine that era without mentioning this kid in the photo. Sure, he was just a chubby lil’ dude rockin’ a beanie hat and high waist pants back in the day, but there is ironically something very distinctive about his toddler attire, versus the attire that most of us came to know him by.

If you guessed suspenders, then you’re getting warm. Scroll down to see what household name this youngin’ became…

Who Is That Kid?

It’s none other than Steve Urkel a.k.a. Family Matters star, Jaeleel White! Now can you see the resemblance? The suspenders were damn near a dead giveaway, with the exception of the fact that they weren’t “Urkel’s” signature  colorful ones.

The Actor He Blasted

Now, remember we said he blasted a fellow actor recently? In case you missed our previous article on that, Jaleel recently put actor, Stoney Jackson, on full blast over something Stoney did to him during his time on Family Matters. Here’s what happened:

Not sure if Jaleel White has now gotten a rematch from Stoney, but if not, Stoney if you’re reading this, give the man a second chance to redeem himself…it’s all in the name of fun…and Jaleel’s pride.
