Alfonso Lincoln Ribeiro, Sr. is the winning celebrity from Season 19 of Dancing with the Stars.
He returned as co-host on Season 31.
Alfonso's interests and loves vary from acting, best known for his role as Carlton Banks in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, to his active career today as a television director, host and voice-over. He made his first big role cast opposite Ricky Schroder in the long-running sitcom Silver Spoons, making him an instant teen idol. His directing credits include television shows Shake It Up, Are We There Yet?, The Wannabes, Meet the Browns, Cuts, Eve, One on One, All of Us, and Mighty Med on Disney XD.
Starting his acting career at the age of eight, Alfonso landed his first starring role in the Broadway musical The Tap Dance Kid, whereupon he was signed to famed music label Island Records. He became an overnight sensation, enamoring the likes of director Bob Geraldi, choreographer Michael Peters and “The King of Pop” Michael Jackson (who enlisted Alfonso in the infamous Pepsi commercial). After taking time to attend Cal State University, Los Angeles where he earned a Theater Arts education, Alfonso was offered a role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alfonso played the memorable character of Carlton Banks, opposite his friend Will Smith. Following six years in the popular series Fresh Prince, he was then approached by Quincy Jones to appear with LL Cool J in the NBC/UPN series In the House. Both can still be seen in syndication. In his free time, he plays sports and is a scratch golfer and a professional car racer, having received countless trophies and medals from numerous worldwide competitions. A native of The Bronx, New York, he currently resides in Southern California.
