Harrison, a Hollywood star, is famous for his role as "Waldo" in the 1989 TV series, "Family Matters." EW reports the moment he recalled the day he nagged his goofy role as Waldo.

Harrison had auditioned for the second season of "Family Matters" for the part of "Willie Fuffner" but he wasn't picked. While on his way out, the show's director beckoned on him making it known he had another role for him.

The audition went well as Harrison delivered his script with the right amount of humor. He became a guest on "Family Matters" and with time, he bagged a regular appearance.

USA Today shares that during the magazine reunion of the "Family Matters" cast, Jaleel White shared a story similar to Harrison's.

He mentioned that he was trying to get out of the acting business when his manager picked him for the audition. White, who played the acclaimed role of Steve Urkel, got the part because of his braces. He explained in his interview:

"I just started kind of walking like a geek, and I was just like, 'Hi, nice to meet you.' I did the voice."

Although the cast of "Family Matters" got together for a magazine cover reunion, memories of the show will stay fresh in the minds of 90s TV fans.

According to IMDB, Harrison, 46, gained recognition and became a TV favorite through "Family Matters." His acting credits also include movies like "Day by Day" and "Legion of Superheroes."
