Jabari Banks Bel-Air
Bel-Air is an American drama series, a reimagined version of the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which aired from 1990 to 1996. Banks played the main role of Will Smith, a 16-year-old from West Philadelphia who is sent to live with his Aunt and Uncle in Bel-Air by his mother, Vy.
The series is the first onscreen tv-series Jabari has starred on. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jabari revealed that;
“I feel like Will is so close to me and my personal experiences. There are so many parallels between my life and his life. It feels as if it’s not such a stretch as an actor. This is such a blessing to be able to play on this level and to be proof that dreams really do come true.”
The most exciting thing to him is also the fact that Will Smith personally told him via Zoom that he had gotten the part. Hee knew that he had some big shoes to fill as his character was once played by his icon.
“I knew this character was me. Throughout my whole life, people said, ‘You kind of have mannerisms like Will [Smith] and you move like him a little bit.’ This is my first role and The Fresh Prince was Will Smith’s first TV role.
I remember sitting down with [Bel-Air director/co-writer/executive producer] Morgan Cooper one day and he was like, ‘As soon as I met you, I knew it was you.’ So from then on I just went with my own instincts.” He told The New York Post.
