Will Smith was born in West Philadelphia. His mother forced him to move to Bel-air after his fight incident with a gangster. In Bel-air, he is away from the streets, goes to a good school and lives with his uncle, aunty and cousins. Will is witty and is frequently seen hatching plots to get rich quick, seduce a girl, and have fun despite the wishes of his strict Uncle Phillip. Well-meaning but impulsive, Will’s ego and a sense of pride direct him in the wrong direction. However, a big heart and guilty conscience usually ensure that Will does the right thing in the end. He has a sly sense of humor, and frequently jokes about Philip’s weight, Carlton’s height, Hilary’s materialism and consumerism, and Ashley’s schoolgirl crushes. Having grown up in the inner city, Will is unaccustomed to the Banks’ affluence, and sometimes looks down on them or resents them for it.
