Summary
Description
In 2019, actor Darius McCrary recounted his journey from a South Central–rooted, music-steeped family—his father, Grammy-nominated Howard McCrary, arranged choir vocals for Michael Jackson—to stardom as Eddie Winslow on "Family Matters." He reflected on the show’s creation, Steve Urkel’s rise, cast changes, the pressures on child actors, and memorable guest stars. McCrary shared vivid memories of mentors like Rick James, candid thoughts on public relationships (including with Karrine Steffans), and how celebrity, media, and "show business" often overpowered talent. A father of three, he championed dads through his nonprofit FathersCare, criticized family-court inequities, and advocated for children’s well-being.
