Will Smith isn't just an accomplished actor, he's also a talented storyteller. It took a strange series of events involving unpaid taxes, a wise ex-girlfriend, and a party in the Hollywood Hills for Smith to land his iconic television role.
It's fascinating to hear him open up about the quirks of being penniless, yet famous.

Imagine 90's television without The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!
