Willard Carroll "Will" Smith, Jr. (born September 25, 1968) is an
American comedic and dramatic 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 four 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 eleven consecutive films gross
over $150 million internationally and
the only one to have eight consecutive
films in which he starred open at #1
spot in the domestic box office tally.
Will Smith is ranked as the most
bankable star worldwide by Forbes
despite the box-office and critical
disappointment of his 2013 film, After
Earth , co-starring Jaden Smith.
Sixteen of the twenty fiction films he
has acted in have accumulated
worldwide gross earnings of over $
100 million, and five took in over $500
million in global box office receipts.
As of 2013, his films have grossed $
6.63 billion in global box office. He
received Best Actor Oscar
nominations for Ali and The Pursuit of
Happyness .
