It's officially been 33 years since The Fresh Prince "moved in" to that luxurious white home in Bel Air, so we figured now would be a good time to talk Will Smith's acting career after the legendary sitcom. While Smith might work with the most elite acting coaches in the country for roles now, it should never be forgotten that acting was a career that kind of randomly fell into his lap as a young rapper (which is what he was first) thanks to Quincy Jones who needed a hip Fresh Prince (the best outfits from the show were legendary) and auditioned him on the spot, which makes Smith one of the greatest "accidental actors" ever in our opinion. In the thirty-plus years of his career, Smith has done it all with a talent that he was clearly born with—drama, action, comedy, sci-fi, and everything in-between. Similar to what we've done recently with Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, and Tom Cruise, we're taking a look at the best Will Smith movies of all-time and ranking them. Scroll down to see our selections.
