Will Smith

Will Smith gained prominence after he starred in the popular American sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The actor’s popularity increased steadily, season by season, and at the end of the sitcom which ran for six years, he had cemented himself as a household name.

A rapper, producer, and songwriter, he has enjoyed relative success and was named “the most powerful actor in Hollywood” in April 2007 by Newsweek. Despite his success with challenging roles in blockbuster movies, the Oscars have always eluded him.

Married to Jada Pinkett Smith, he has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.
