Jaleel White Won't 'Shy Away' From Future Dance Roles
Actor Jaleel White has been sent packing from his turn on "Dancing With the Stars," but don't expect him to sit out the next dance. White has said he has nothing but good memories of his time on "DWTS" and "will not shy away from any role or anything that incorporated dance."
In a revealing post-"DWTS" interview with "Access Hollywood," White spoke fondly of his time on the show.
"I made some great friends here. This is a fraternity. I will be a little sad [that] I'm not going to get up in the morning and go train," he said.

"I'm going to tell you a secret," White told "DWTS" judges. "I really only thought I'd last about three dances in this competition. I've made incredible friends. The fans have been incredible; I love Roshon Fegan. I'm happy they save him- he has a bright future."
What is his advice for future contestants?
"Trust the Lord above that he put you on a path for you to succeed. You know, in five days I can [learn] a dance and present it to America," he said.
Fans of "DWTS" disagree with the judges, insisting that "Half Pint" (Melissa Gilbert) should have been the one to go home.
"She has not improved that much since the start," Betty from California wrote on Yahoo. "I like her, but she is overdue to go home- should have kept Jaleel and sent her home."
"Melissa should have gone…she can not dance. It was not fair to Jaleel or Roshon," added Illana.
White was one of the controversial figures on the show, as allegations piled up that he had had an argument with dancing partner Kym Johnson and ex-girlfriend Bridget Johnson claimed he had been abusive to her.
"It really just cracks me up," he told Hollywood.com. "My track record in life speaks for itself. You could see it on my face."
