    RIP :( Fresh Prince was part of my childhood, I'll always remember it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,801 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    he played a great "dad" character. modern tv shows' portrayal of dads usually involves an angsty buffoon of a man. uncle phil was imposing; respected, feared and loved by his kids.

    The most memorable scene for me as Will Smith went off script and Avery reacts to it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    He was so good at what he did that you genuniely wanted to meet him and get to know him. Sad... RIP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,077 ✭✭✭Tipsy McSwagger


    Best line in the show was when Uncle Phil hustled the pool player who hustled Will, 'Jeffrey, break out Lucille'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,269 ✭✭✭GalwayGuy2


    Damn, I finally understand what people mean when they say their childhood died.

    I was about to post above scene...damn, what a father figure.

    RIP

    A fine actor. Really provided alot of entertainment for kids growing up in the early 90s.

    We'll all remember him as Uncle Phil and Shredder.

    He lives on as Principal Lewis in American Dad, dead ringer for him. One of my favorite actors for years, loved his cameo in That 70s Show.

    Was just going to post that :D Loved that line. Absolutely classic. You just got the sense that something was in the water he was playing so bad.

    RIP Big Man
