Fresh Prince -- Will's Father Abandons Him... Again

Will's deadbeat dad makes a lot of promises and then skips out again. Will doesn't take it well. The scene that let you know Will Smith was going to be a star.

PLEASE UP-VOTE THIS SO WE CAN FINALLY LAY IT TO REST:

I really don't know who the hell started that stupid rumor that apparently this wasn't scripted and his father actually left him but I'm here to put this to rest with some proof.

and the actual quote - "I look at my father and how he was able to keep four kids fed and clothed and still managed to find time to spend with us"

if you want me to cite the source it's in wikipedia's number [28] "Becoming Will Smith"

>Lay down

>Try not to cry

>Cry alot

yea but at the same time you don't want to piss off the Smith man telling him that his father should go to hell or something when his father was there for him all the time.

I'd imagine his reaction would be the same reaction Dave Chapelle gives people who keep reenacting his jokes to him while he's around his family/kids.

It shows how good of an actor he is though, for people to believe that rumor

[darragh9512]

At least the fresh prince was actually trying to have a realistic black family

I rember this episode that part was sad his dad returns after 14 years, and they bond then he leaves again.
