Will Smith BiographyWill Smith, a resident of Philadelphia, was born on September 25, 1968. He is the second of four children. He is product of a middle class family. His ability to come out of the trouble earned him the nickname "Prince". It is only this duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, formed by Smith that has popularized his nickname. Smith earned name and fame as a rapper by producing two platinum albums and winning a Grammy for He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper. It was in his teen age that he exactly realized what life means. When he was just 18, he had to face misfortune as he was in debt to the IRS. Warner Bros. executive Benny Medina, came as a helping hand to him who wanted to picture his life history into a TV show. The TV show brings in light Smith's own experience, a new world of a rich Beverly Hills family with an unfortunate child living in it. As a result "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air", who had even skipped an M.I.T. scholarship to pursue his career -earned even greater fame as the show's hero. Moving back and forth as an entertainer, musician and actor, he earned a reputation of one of the most successful entertainers -- African-American or otherwise -- in the American popular consciousness of the 1990s.It was in 1989 that Smith was looking for some change, some kind of excitement. It was then that he met Benny Medina. At that time he had found a big gate to enter into the busy world of movies. He came into notice with Six Degrees of Separation (1993), a critically acclaimed production. Will's carved his image in the movie world with the success that came with the action picture Bad Boys (1995). He had a huge hit with the Blockbuster Independence Day (1996) in which he starred as the alien-battling Marine Corps Captain Steven Hiller. Having proved himself as a popular personality and also great praises for his dramatic work, the only character which everybody is expecting this actor to perform is romantic comedy. All guesswork came to an end with the release of Hitch in early 2005. Starring Smith as a fabled "date doctor," the film has left the audience to wonder if there's anything Smith can't do. Smith Shines in Guinness BookBy attending three red-carpet premieres of his movie Hitch in one day -- flying in a private jet on Tuesday to Manchester, Birmingham and London, Will Smith has carved a space for himself in the Guinness Book of World Records, British reports says. |
