That Fresh Prince Scene Though (Fathers Day)

[BobbyBooshay]

I know a lot of brothers can relate to this seeing as its Fathers day
​

Still brings a lump to my throat

While filming an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where Will’s absent father briefly returns only to disappoint him again, Will Smith’s improvisation lead to one of the most iconic scenes in television history. Instead of saying “Whatever, I don’t care that my father is gone,” a piece of dialogue that would have perfectly fit both the character and the direction the episode had been going, Smith instead improvised “why don’t he want me, man?" and unexpectedly burst into tears. Will was not acting, but drawing from his own experience with an absent father. The subsequent hug you see in the episode is not from an uncle to a nephew, but from one actor to another. When asked about the event, Smith is quoted as saying “yeah, I did it because my inability to act is matched only by this show’s writers’ inability to set up a simple and obvious moment of character development properly.” [Source: “Making of” DVD Feature
