"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (https://www.looper.com/980901/the-untold-truth-of-the-fresh-prince-of-bel-air/) ran for six hilarious seasons in the early 1990s and made rapper-turned-actor Will Smith (https://www.nickiswift.com/476525/the-untold-truth-of-will-smith/) a household name. Although it went off the air in 1996, the series has maintained a loyal following for over two decades. Smith stars as the eponymous main character, a young man from Philadelphia inspired by the actor's real-life personality. After changing coasts to live with wealthy Uncle Phil (James Avery) and Aunt Viv (Janet Hubert), young Will slowly goes from a quintessential fish-out-of-water to an irreplaceable part of their household.
However, Smith and the rest of the main cast are just some of the draws for this beloved sitcom. Throughout its tenure, "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" also featured cameos from some of the biggest names in 1990s Hollywood. Some performers had already enjoyed long careers in show business, while others were just getting their start. These actors each brought their signature brand of comedy and drama to the series, making their minor characters truly memorable.
