If '''Will Smith''' is not the most famous actor on the planet, he's in the top five. He's also one of the best-paid, pulling salaries estimated at $20 million ''per movie'' in the 2000s and 2010s.
'''Willard Christopher "Will" Smith, Jr.''' (born September 25, 1968-) is an actor and rapper. [[Memetic Mutation|West]] [[Philadelphia (useful notes)|Philadelphia]] [[Memetic Mutation|born and raised]], [[Expository Theme Tune|on the playground is where he spent most of his days, chillin' out, maxin' relaxin' all cool]], until Smith first entered the public eye as part of "DJ Jazzy Jeff and the The Fresh Prince", a lighthearted hip-hop duo know for such songs as "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "Summertime". He really came to fame with the NBC [[Sitcom]] ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' before moving into what has become a very successful acting career, including
His [[Uncle Tomfoolery]] days are [[Tom Hanks Syndrome|pretty much gone]], with Smith playing semi-serious or serious roles most of the time now, and his comedic acting not being race-based. (It also helps that he is the undisputed lead in any movie he's in -- one of the few black actors who regularly does this.)

The failure of ''[[Wild Wild West (film)|Wild Wild West]]'' prompted Smith to observe: "That's how big I am. I ''bomb'' over $100 million."
He is married to [[Jada Pinkett Smith]], who (as [[Chris Rock]] discovered [[Armor-Piercing Slap|the hard way]] at [https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/will-smith-chris-rock-oscars-slap-1.6399603
Not to be confused with legendary tough-guy actor [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810342/ William Smith]. Or Will Smith of Whiskey Media's "Tested" site (as much as they like to joke he's the same person).
