The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air/Trivia


 * Executive Meddling: At the start of Season 4, Janet Hubert-Whitten is no longer part of the cast, and the role of Vivian is recast to Daphne Maxwell Reid. No reasons were given to the public for over a decade, but Whitten claims that Will Smith played a role in her sacking.
 * Alphonso Ribiero confirms that the whole cast was like one big family, except for Whitten, who was difficult to work with and toxic to be around, and really killed the mood on set. He said she was not only disdainful of them when not shooting, she would go off on people during, eventually causing the entire cast to go to the studio in protest. So yes, Will Smith did have something to do with Whitten's being fired... she just left out that he had everyone else but her with him when it happened.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: James Avery's voice will be instantly recognizable to children of the 80s as the Shredder.
 * I Am Not Spock: Averted: Will Smith chose to call his character "Will Smith" because he knew he would be referred to as his character's name for the rest of his life.
 * The Other Darrin: Janet Hubert-Whitten was replaced by Daphne Maxwell Reid in 1993.
 * Lampshaded in one episode, where Jazz comments that there's been something different about Vivian ever since she gave birth to Nicky and Will then breaks the fourth wall to stare at the audience.
