The actor, 54, opened up about his iconic dance moves seen on the hit TV show while chatting exclusively with Parade for the September digital cover story.
“The script said, ‘Carlton dances.’ And then it was like, ‘What is it going to be? What is the song?’” he began. “What I felt was important was, at the time — especially in the early ‘90s — it was like, you were either super corny or you were super cool, right? And there was nothing in between. And I said, ‘Wait a minute, I was the cool kid on Silver Spoons. I was the cool kid on a lot of the things that I've done before now. All of a sudden, I'm the nerdy, dorky guy. But why does the nerdy, dorky guy need not be cool another way? And what can those ways be?’"

“He wasn't a good athlete, but could do those things in a way that impressed people, while it still remained true to the character. People start to equate dorky with bad. And I go, ‘Why? Why is the dorky kid not a good athlete? That's not true,’” he continued. “Just because they're dorky doesn't mean that they don't have physical skills, right? Just because they're dorky, does that mean that they don't have rhythm? You see people play that. That's not what I wanted to play. I wanted to play this three-dimensional character that has so many different things.”
