Born – September 25, 1968
West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.

Began as part of the duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, charmed audiences with harmless, clean-cut rap that the whole family can enjoy.

Starred in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” which if nothing else gave the world the Carlton Dance.

Starred in “Independence Day” (where he totally punched out an alien), became a huge movie star, made a ton of hit movies. Also made "Wild Wild West." Remember that one? It had a giant mechanical spider in it … and wasn’t very good.

Is single-handedly trying to re-populate Hollywood with his own children, who rap and act and possibly make awesome balloon animals and god knows what else.

Is known for being likeable and for saying "damn!" at least once in every movie.
