Will Smith took his biggest step in the industry with &quot;The Fresh Prince

Long before Will Smith tarnished his well-painted image in Hollywood by slapping
someone on the Oscar stage, his head upheld the crown of being one of the most
successful actors in all of Hollywood. And although ‘actor’ is the most
well-acquainted term with him, he was once one of the most popular rappers as
well. Straying away from the generic style of rapping, Smith liked to keep it
clean and organic. Which is one of the many reasons his fandom during his time
as a musician traveled over when he took up acting.



Smith, who did not have a clue of how things worked in Hollywood, stepped into
it with the Andy Borowitz and Susan Borowitz sitcom, The Fresh Prince of
Bel-Air. Keeping the fact that Smith played an exaggerated version of himself
aside, his talent for acting still shined through. Furthermore, the series aired
for six years on television and had many star-studded cameos. On this list is
the iconic Boyz II Men.


WILL SMITH WAS NOT THE ONLY PHILADELPHIAN STAR ON THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR

The NBC sitcom followed Will Smith, a teenager from West Philadelphia whose life
changes when he moves in with his rich uncle and aunt in Bel-Air. In real life
too, Will Smith was born in Philadelphia. The actor has talked about his
Philadelphian roots in countless interviews. Given how hard it must have been to
carve his way as someone from a small town, we do not blame him. In the sitcom
[https://www.netflix.com/in/title/70143818], Smith’s character would constantly
lock horns with the upper-class residents in the area.

Much like he had to fight to make it in the industry. However, he is not the
only Philadelphian star in the industry. Boyz II Men, consisting of Nathan
Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Wanya Morris, is one of the best American bands of
all time.

The group recently tweeted about the time they made a cameo on Smith’s trademark
show The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

When the vocal harmony group made a cameo on the popular sitcom, Michael McCary
was still a part of the group. Watching the video of the band harmonizing to Let
it Snow in 1993 with a young Will Smith, has been one of the best throwback
episodes we received this year.

Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
