Carlton Alfonso Ribeiro
One of the greatest characters to grace comedic television, Alfonso Ribeiro as Carlton; the always-prepared upper-class snob turned lovably innocent bookworm was a key part of the shows appeal, and what allowed them to play with racial stereotypes early-on. The Banks family started out listening to classical music and addressing each other in the most regal way possible most poignantly Carlton served as an embodiment of this attitude in stark contrast to Wills introduction to the unit. Over time Wills social-side rubbed off on him somewhat, and the likes of the Carlton Dance are still engrained deep within our hearts and minds, again brought to bear in that infamous Graham Norton clip. These days Alfonso is still going strong career-wise, although his most talked about appearance remains the aforementioned talk show appearance that is until hes soon set to sadly join whatever other batch of celebrities are doing the next Im a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here!. Lord help us in deciding if a Carlton-Dancing Alfonso doing his signature jig atop a mound of moss and kangaroo testicles is acceptable or not.
