The Bankses, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Before he was headlining Big Willie Weekends, Will Smith was just The Fresh Prince to us. He was the coolest cousin around, though it was sometimes lost on stuck-up Carlton, princess Hilary and tough-guy Uncle Phil. From West Philadelphia, born and raised, Will was shipped off to ritzy Bel-Air to live with his aunt and uncle in safer pastures. He still got himself into plenty of trouble, but his family always came through for him—despite so often being the butt of his jokes.
