Jaleel White: New 'Road' Leads to Starring Role in Web Series

Former child star Jaleel White is giving it another go in front of the small-screen cameras.

This time, though, the actor -- renowned for playing the character Steve Urkel on the 1980s sitcom 'Family Matters' -- will star in the Web-based series 'Road to the Altar,' premiering online June 15.

According to a rep, 'Road' is a mockumentary that taps into the humor and insanity inherent in the oldest and most sacred of human traditions: the wedding.

The series follows one couple's comical journey through the wedding process over the course of 10 four-minute episodes.
