Biography
Carlton Banks made Alfonso Ribeiro a sitcom icon—the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's preppy foil became his defining role across four decades. Born September 21, 1971, in the US, Ribeiro launched as a child actor and earned Broadway credentials in the musical The Tap Dance Kid before landing his breakout NBC gig. Beyond Fresh Prince (1990–1996), he starred on Silver Spoons (1984–1987) and In the House (1996–1999), cementing himself as a fixture of '80s and '90s television.
As a Virgo born in 1971, Ribeiro carries the sign's precision and analytical edge—traits visible in his comedic timing and sharp character work. Life-path number 3 reinforces his creative bent: communicators, performers, and entertainers who thrive on expression and audience connection. Actors inhabit roles, build fictional worlds, and entertain audiences across film, television, and stage—Ribeiro has done all three. His US citizenship grounds his career in American television, where he remains a recognizable face.
In recent years, Ribeiro shifted toward hosting. He currently hosts ABC's America's Funniest Home Videos and co-hosts Dancing with the Stars with Julianne Hough. His victory in the show's nineteenth season alongside professional dancer Witney Carson marked a high-profile return to competitive performance. He and Carson later co-hosted the GSN game show Catch 21, expanding his footprint across multiple genres.
