What These Family Matters Actors Look Like Today

Though he's probably best known as police officer and patriarch Carl Winslow, Reginald VelJohnson's career has done better than most of his co-stars. He predated Family Matters with a notable role in the classic Die Hard series—as a cop—and an appearance in Ghostbusters...as a cop.

After the cancellation of Family Matters, VelJohnson showed up in guest spots just about everywhere, including CSI, Crossing Jordan, Will & Grace, and That's So Raven. Even more recently, he's appeared on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Girl Meets World.

According to a 2016 interview with The Huffington Post, VelJohnson still regularly talks with his old TV family, and even co-starred with his former TV-wife, Jo Marie Payton, in the TV movie, The Flight Before Christmas. While filming, the pair even discussed the possibility of a Family Matters reunion.
