![]() Avg.User Rating: Rate this person: Actor Born: August 16, 1952 in Queens, New York City, NY Biography:African-American actor "Reginald VelJohnson" is the ideal choice for "urban everyman" roles: his sour-apple facial expression, bald pate, and chubby frame are perfectly suited for the many policemen and blue-collar workers he has played over the years. Beginning in small parts in films like "Ghostbusters" (1984), VelJohnson gained a following with supporting roles in "Crocodile Dundee" (1986) and "Die Hard" (1988). A guest spot as an undercover cop on a 1989 episode of TV's "Perfect Strangers" led to VelJohnson's longest professional engagement to date. In the company of former "Perfect Strangers" regular Jo-Marie Payton-France, "Reginald VelJohnson", since the fall of 1989, starred as Chicago cop Carl Winslow on the weekly comedy series "Family Matters". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
