White was born in Los Angeles County, California. He began acting professionally at the age of ten. His first bookings were The Jeffersons, Little House on the Prairie, and 1980's The Blues Brothers (as a would-be-shoplifter who is thwarted by a gun-toting Ray Charles). White also played one of the boys who attempt to keep a baseball in the Neil Simon movie Max Dugan Returns. In 1984, he played Wylie - who was lynched for accidentally shooting a white sheriff - in Places in the Heart. The movie received notice at the Academy Awards; White credits this role for providing an opportunity to read with producer Joel Silver and star Bruce Willis for Die Hard (1988). White filmed his scenes with Willis over a period of three months; some of their dialogue was improvised on the set. White also starred in the television series Head of the Class as Aristotle McKenzie, and co-starred as a suicidal misfit who befriends Rick Schroder in 1989's Out on the Edge. In 1992, White played the role of Ice-T's drug-addicted younger brother in Walter Hill's Trespass. White appeared in the 2000 drama Shadow Hours. White reprised his role as Argyle from Die Hard, with Willis, in a commercial for Advance Auto Parts' DieHard brand of car batteries in October 2020.
