    Alfonso Rideiro is awesome!! hide show

    Alfonso Ribeiro is such a great actor. He is totally awesome!! My favorite show he was in is the Fresh Prince of Bel Air!! He portrayed the role as Carlton, the cousin of Will. He was hilarious on that show!!! I love that Carlton Dance he does!! LMAO!!! I love it when he does his little dance!! Especially when he dances to the music of his favorite artist, Tom Jones!! On the show, he is really smart, but, how he tries to fit in with Will makes me laugh. He is not up to date with a lot of the slang terms and tries to ask him what each term means! Alfonso Ribeiro is a great actor!

    VERY TALENTED! hide show

    Alfonso Rebeiro is a very talented dancer, actor, and in some cases, singing. I've only seen him on Fresh Prince of Bel Air, but I can assume he really deserves a lot of credit for his talents. He is an awesome dancer, and I like how he does tap dancing and the Carlton Dance on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He is just as hilarious as Will Smith, and he should have his own show. One of the all time greats in acting, dancing, singing, and other things on the show. He really should have a show, and he is just funny!

    We will give Alfonso Ribeiro respect!!!! hide show

    Alfonso Ribeiro is so cool as Carlton Banks on the show, The Fresh Prince Of Belair. I have notice the dancing he did on The Fresh Prince Of Belair, he really didnt enjoy the dancing that he did at the show. All this time I thought he loves doing it. Alfonso Ribeiro is so hilarious and cool and...handsome. Im not saying I really love him because im a boy. He is the funnest charater on the show. The other things he do, im actually impress on everything he did. Those were the days. What ever he is doing right now, I wish him the best of luck.

    great actor. sometimes even outshone will smith in the fresh prince hide show

    the first thing that comes to mind about alfonso is his role as calrton banks on the fresh prince of bel-air. Not only was he amazing in that show, but he was sometimes even better than Will. Of course the show couldn't have worked without Will but Alfonso definetly stepped it up whenever he was around him. The two combined created some great classic episodes. The best thing about carlton was his crazy dance moves and singing. Alfonso used his singing and dancing skills from prior Fresh Prince to help the acting. Even though he is more known for Carlton Banks, he did have a long and successful career in Silver Spoons as the charming kid actor.

    One word. Amazing. How does he do it. hide show

    I know of Alfonso through the show the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and he is my favorite actor on the show. I think he is the best dancer on that show, and also the best actor. He actor is very good, and his humor on the Fresh Prince is unbeatable. I personally think he is the best dancer I have seen on television and that he has fantastic moves. The dancers he has to perform are very funny to watch and everybody loves the way he does it. Any show that involves dancing that doesn't have Alfonso as a cast member is most likely missing out.
