Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Cast Reunited in Transformers 3

While "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" brought newcomer rapper Will Smith to the small screen forefront, and eventual superstar fame, the young hip hop artist wasn't the only actor on the affluent Los Angeles West Side. The actors on "Fresh Prince" included the bulky father figure Philip Banks played by James Avery, the lovely kid sister Ashley played by Tatyana M. Ali, "Silver Spoons" vet Alfonso Ribeiro playing the preppy Carlton, and Karyn Parsons performing as the self-centered airhead of Bel-Air Hilary.

Where are they now?

Blockbuster Superstar Will Smith
Without a doubt, the goofy Will Smith first portrayed on the "Fresh Prince" in the 1990s has more than grown up. Earning nominations for Golden Globes, Academy Awards, and the recipient of multiple Grammy awards, the young American rapper demonstrated a cool head for success that makes him one of the highest grossing actors in numerous blockbuster hits like Men in Black, I Am Legend, Bad Boys, and Enemy of the State. Smith's Seven Pounds showed the actor had a bit of the dramatic in him.

Multitalented Musician Tatyana Ali
Tatyana Ali's career after the "Fresh Prince" found her stretching out her musical wings and starring in Nick Cannon's inspiring music video about Cannon's teen mom choosing to keep her baby in "Can I Live?" What's Tatyana Ali's latest project? TV One will be presenting Ali in a brand new show called "Love That Girl!" where she plays a sassy divorcee trying to start her life anew.

Game Show Host Alfonso Ribiero
Talented dancer Alfonso Ribiero's career has gone almost everywhere and nowhere since the Bel Air gang left West L.A. for the real world. Alfonso Ribiero has hosted the game show "Catch 21", directed a few shows, starred in the B horror flick "Ticks", and sang in the show "Celebrity Duets".

Model Mom to Transformers Karyn Parsons
Karyn Parsons played the conceited bubblehead Hilary on "Fresh Prince". In real life, the former model and mom keeps her feet on the ground, balancing family life with various film and television projects. Where can you find her next? Try Transformers 3 where she stars next to her "Fresh Prince" father James Avery.

Still on Film James Avery
Although far away from his popular role of father on "Fresh Prince", James Avery still acts on the small and the silver screen. Viewers can find him in Transformers 3 and appearances on various television series like "The Closer".

From 21 game show host to superhero Hancock to musician, the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" cast continues to make waves in the entertainment biz in Los Angeles.
