#TBT – Alfonso Ribeiro Appeared In Michael Jackson Pepsi Commercial [VIDEO]
Alfonso Ribeiro is most notably known for his role of Carlton Banks from the 1990's sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, which also starred Will Smith, but now can be found on the ballroom dance floor as a celebrity contestant on ABC's Dancing With The Stars. Alfonso currently sits on the top of the leader board in the competition thanks to his jive from Monday nights' (September 15th) performance, but this isn't the first time he's been featured dancing on television.
In 1984, he appeared in one of Michael Jackson's Pepsi commercials as one of the street dancers. Shortly after shooting that commercial, the rumor was he had snapped his neck while performing for the commercial and died. Catch Alfonso (a.k.a. Carlton) and Michael Jackson dancing to the Pepsi theme in this Throwback Thursday memory!
