Rodney Beckett (portrayed by Randy Josselyn) is one of the characters in the show Family Matters.
He is a practical joker who plays a trick on Eddie in the episode Straight A's. Like Penny, he had no patience for Urkel's antics. He did, however, seem to show concern for Urkel when he got into trouble with bullies and informed Eddie. Rodney was a member of Eddie's band in Rock Video for the contest until Steve's loose lips forces him and the others to abandon the band. Beginning in Season 3, Waldo becomes Eddie's new best friend, and Rodney is never seen or mentioned ever again, implying he moved away.
