Alain actually had a link with another member of the cast: Will Smith - unknowing though he was - actually played a big part in the Canadian native learning English:

"When I was in High school; I couldn't speak English - Creole and French being my 2 first languages. My English teacher and my Mom forced me - and I mean physically to watch one hour of TV in English everyday and I watched The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It took me a month to get that Will and Carlton were not brothers."

He shared the story with the man behind Deadshot, too:

"So when I got on set I told that whole story to Will who I was sure heard similar things in his life. But apparently he never heard that one."

Not at all surprising.
