20 Little Known Facts That Will Make You See Famous Actors Differently
15. Will Smith Learned Everyone's Lines In The First Season Of The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air
Everyone knows Will Smith to be one of the biggest and most successful actors in Hollywood. A large part of his success is probably the level of professionalism he brought to his early roles (and assumedly, his later ones too). During the first season of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Smith memorised not just his lines, but those of every person in the cast. Whilst this is something that can be fairly common in the theatre, to do it for 25 episodes (which equates to about 12.5 hours worth of lines) is above and beyond the call of duty. If you watch the first season closely, you can actually see Smith lip synching the lines along with whomever is speaking. Whether or not you feel that hes a good actor, its this commitment and drive that must be part of his professional success.
