Ribeiro is best known for his role as spoiled rich-kid Carlton Banks in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air from 1990 to 1996, in which he was mercilessly teased by Will Smith's lead character, often targeting his height (Ribeiro is 1.68 m or 5 ft 6 in). He also was the director of some episodes of Fresh Prince. The Carlton character was often called upon to do a comic, usually improvised dance routine to Tom Jones's "It's Not Unusual." Ribeiro is in fact a very good dancer; he showed some skills with Will Smith in several episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, including a tap dance routine in the show's Soul Train episode that featured a moonwalk.
He is also known for his role on LL Cool J's show In the House and as the host of Your Big Break. Ribeiro has acted and been part of the crew on many movies and TV shows. In 1997, he performed the voice of Roland Jackson in Extreme Ghostbusters. He has also appeared in Smith's "Wild Wild West" video in 1999, and in a McDonald's commercial in 2003.
Ribeiro, 34, filed for divorce from Robin Ribeiro on August 9, 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. He is seeking joint custody of the couple's 3-year-old daughter Sienna, with physical custody going to the child's mother. He intends to maintain visitation rights. [1]
Beginning in August 2006, Ribeiro was a contestant on Fox's new reality show Celebrity Duets which teamed up entertainers not known for singing with famous singers. Ribeiro promised to do "the Carlton Dance" if he made it to the show's finale. He kept his promise when he became one of the three finalists. On September 29, 2006, Ribeiro was announced as the winner of the show. Lucy Lawless and Hal Sparks finished second and third, respectively. For his victory, Ribeiro's charity of choice, Fresh Start, which provides plastic surgery to children with birth defects, received $100,000. [2]

The clean Prince has been in syndication for years. it continues to be on television I promise you that. purely because it isn't on your area does not mean that that is lengthy previous for solid everywhere. in case you opt on to confirm it your best wager is to hit up ebay or amazon or possibly even a suncost form position and purchase the DVDs.

He sometimes directs episodes of All of Us on the CW network, and I guess he acts occasionally.
