ADD QUOTES
- Alfonso (On playing Carlton): People are still seeing me in that light... It's a character people. I'm not playing myself, that's why they call it 'acting!'
  Edit Share Hide
- Alfonso: The role has made it harder for me to do new work as an actor. For example, Carlton's character can't dance, but I can. I've been dancing since I was a kid. I don't think I'm anything like Carlton Banks
  Edit Share Hide
- Alfonso: I truly enjoy directing. I enjoy looking at the words on the paper and visualizing how to make them come to life.
