Why in the World did Will Smith memorize the lines of ALL characters on the show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 12-03-2002, 09:16 PM

When I found out Will Smith memorize everybody's lines on the show including his own, he was definitely on my weird List. If you notice in the first season, Will would move his lips when other characers were speaking because he knew their lines too. How wacky was that? I always knew Will Smith was not all there but when I found that out i was truly shocked. I think he only moves his lips when other people are talkng during the first season.

Will Smith only did that because he was afraid of missing his cue. I don't see anything wrong with that! I would be nervous too!

But everyone can still see on TV that his lips are moving when someone else is talking. If will could look back and see how crazy he look, he would ask TBS to stop showing the first season.

I've never noticed his lips moving in the first season, I only know he did that because I saw some thing on TV about Will Smith a couple months ago. I guess I'll have to go back and watch those episodes.

One episode he does it in is the one when his friend Ice Tray comes to visit. like i said-i think it'sall the first season episodes-defintely the first 10 episodes. i'm not really a big fan of the first season.

Yeah, the first season wasn't my favorite either. I liked the later episodes better.

I never noticed before, I'll look out for that.
I agree, the show did get better as it went along too.

Ummm, what are you talking about?

Obviously him moving his lips while the other actors delivered their lines is not exactly one of his better on camera moments (and thankfully he improved overtime), but learning the lines that come before your own is a good thing...

If your on stage and you do not know where the other actors line end and your begins...let's just say it's going to be a difficult night on that stage for you.

So again I ask, what exactly are you talking about????

Be clearer next time

And that was actually his very first acting assignment...headlining a primetime network televison show, so the errors and perhaps awkwardness on camera (during the 1st season) in retrospect are understandable. Will's even made jokes about it himself...
