Jen Magazine Actor Profile: Will Smith

Sure, he might have started out his career as The Fresh Prince. But through a lot of hard work, and some amazingly sharp insight into the best scripts for him, Will Smith has climbed the Hollywood ladder until he secured himself as one of the most bankable talents around. A native of Philadelphia, Will was born on September 25, 1968. As the son of middle class parents and the second of four children, he earned himself the nickname "Prince" for his amazing gift for digging himself out of trouble.The name stuck when he formed the popular duo "DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince". His first real fame was as a rapper which garnered him two platinum albums and a Grammy award.

After a run on the popular sitcom "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air", Smith found himself with possibilities galore. Starting in 1992, he's taken on some ambitious roles with "Where the Day Takes You" and "Six Degrees of Seperation." But he is best known for his ability to helm a summer blockbuster. Starting out with "Bad Boys" with Martin Lawrence, he became a household name with a little film called "Independence Day". That was the movie that proved Will Smith was here to stay. Also? It showed that extraterrestrial life forms did his career a world of good. After all? Who can honestly say they don't know what "Men in Black" are?

This summer, Smith is back in the movie based on the works of Issac Asimov called "I, Robot". Early buzz is putting it as one of the most eagerly anticipated movies of the year. And its easy to see why. Will Smith is many things, but when it comes to the movies he's the guy you want to pack a theater to cheer for.
