Will Smith is one of Hollywood's most bankable stars. The Philly native gained fame as a rapper, producing two platinum albums and winning the first ever Best Rap Performance Grammy. During his run on TV's The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Smith branched out to features with a role in Six Degrees of Separation. He went on to become the first hip-hop artist to be nominated for an Oscar, for his turn as Ali, and earned a second nod for The Pursuit of Happyness. He's next up in the sci-fi film, I Am Legend.
