5 Questions for Jabari Banks

“The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” was everyone’s favorite sitcom within the ’90s. The hit sitcom put legendary rapper and actor Will Smith on the map, together with Alfonso Ribeiro, Tatyana Ali, the late James Avery, and plenty of others. However, a number of people were skeptical when Smith announced that the beloved “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” could be returning as a drama relatively than the comedy all of us knew and loved. With “Bel-Air” premiering on Peacock in 2022, the talented ensemble proved that sometimes a twist on a classic can be an enormous success.

“Bel-Air” is now in its third season, and lead actor Jabari Banks, who plays Will, stopped by theGrio for our latest series, “5 Questions,” where we go one-on-one with among the show’s most notable trendsetters. Banks talked about what type of dynamic the facility of guest stars brings to Season 3, whether this role is supposed for him, and more.

Banks believes the role was meant for him. “If it wasn’t there, someone else would have gotten it,” the Philadelphia native said, adding that “there are alternate universes where someone else got the part, but in this universe, it’s mine. It’s for me.”

In addition to his appearance on “Bel-Air,” the singer/actor has released a brand new single titled “Weekend ride” which is obtainable on all streaming platforms. The first 4 episodes of “Bel-Air” Season 3 can be found now, with latest episodes premiering every Thursday on Peacock.
