Welcome to the fanlistings.org approved fanlisting for Steve Urkel from Family Matters. Steve was played to perfection by Jaleel White and he was only supposed to be on a few episodes. But that brief gig turned into a permaneant one. Steve was the Winslow's neighbor and was hopelessly in love with Laura, who always got irritated with him. Steve had a good heart, but he was a bit of a klutz at times. Steve eventually became just like a member of the Winslow family, and despite his protests, Carl loved him like a son.
