Recently fans of the classic hit sitcom Family Matters have been thrilled to hear there’s been talk of a reboot. Given the successful 5-season run of the Full House sequel series Fuller House on Netflix, it just might happen.
Last year, Darius McCrary addressed the rumors of a potential reboot, revealing that he’d spoken with Jaleel White as well as other original cast members about the concept. VelJohnson also spoke about a return to the role of Carl Winslow last year, feeling it would do well as fans still recognize him everywhere he goes. “So, people still love that show very much and if it comes back I’ll be ready,” VelJohnson told ComicBook.com.
Since Family Matters, McCrary has kept active in a variety of roles; he provided the voice of Jazz in the live-action Transformers movie in 2007, contributed in Next Day Air, 35 and Ticking, and Saw VI among others. On the small screen, he also had regular roles on the shows Freedom, The Young and the Restless, and Monogamy. Kellie Shanygne Williams, had a recurring role on the TV series What About Joan along with other parts in shows like Girlfriends and The Parkers.
