Willard Christopher "Will" Smith,
Jr. (born September 25, 1968), also known by his stage name The
Fresh Prince, is an American actor, producer, and rapper. He has enjoyed
success in television, film and music. In April 2007, Newsweek called
him the most powerful actor in Hollywood. Smith has been nominated
for four Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won multiple Grammy
Awards.
In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper
under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically
when he starred in the popular television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The show ran for nearly six years (1990–1996) on NBC and has been syndicated
consistently on various networks since then. In the mid-1990s, Smith moved from
television to film, and ultimately starred in numerous blockbuster films. He is
the only actor to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million in the
domestic box office and the only one to have eight consecutive films in which
he starred open at #1 spot in the domestic box office tally.
Fourteen of the nineteen fiction films he has acted in have
accumulated worldwide gross earnings of over $100 million, and four took in
over $500 million in global box office receipts. As of 2011, his films have
grossed $5.7 billion in global box office. His most financially successful
films have been Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Independence Day, Men
in Black, Men in Black II, I, Robot, I Am Legend, Hancock,
Wild Wild West, Enemy of the State, Shark Tale, Hitch
and Seven Pounds. He also earned critical praise for his performances in
Six Degrees of Separation, Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness,
receiving Best Actor Oscar nominations for the latter two.
