12 Cast Of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”: Then And Now

3. Alfonso Ribeiro (Carlton Banks)

At that point: Alfonso Ribeiro played Will’s cousin Carlton, whose short stature made him the victim of a large portion of Will’s jokes. As the series went on, Will and Carlton became the closest companions, and Carlton’s scandalous “Carlton dance” made him a fan top pick. Before featuring on ‘Fresh Prince,’ Ribeiro was known for his part as Alfonso Spears on Silver Spoons.

Presently: Ribeiro proceeded to reality television and hosting gigs. He also competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2007 and hosted the Game Show Network’s GSN Live and 21 for quite a long while. In 2009, he put on another cap and directed a few episodes of the Tyler Perry TV show, Meet the Browns, and most of Season 2 of Are We There Yet? In 2013, he was a competitor in the UK rendition of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Furthermore, he started hosting the ABC Family spelling show ‘Spell-Mageddon.’ Also, yes, he did “the Carlton.”

4. Janet Hubert (Aunt Vivian, Seasons 1-3)

At that point: Janet Hubert was the first Aunt Viv, depicting the Banks family matriarch until the end of Season 3, when she was supposedly sacked from the show. In 1994, she sued both NBC and Will Smith for defamation. However, she lost the case.

Presently: Hubert scored little roles in different TV shows and penned a journal, Sitcom Mom, before getting a repeating role as Mrs. Williamson on One Life to Live. In 2011, she was plainly still astringent about how things went with the Fresh Prince cast. She went so far as to call Will Smith an “egomaniac” and an “a–hole.” However, she appears to have transformed her tune somewhat in 2013, saying she was sick of the fight and would “completely” be up for a Fresh Prince get-together. She recently played Dr. Stacey Slater in the 2015 film No Letting Go.
