Willard Carroll Smith II started as half of a hip hop duo with DJ Jazzy Jeff, landing five top-20 singles between 1985 and 1994, including "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "Summertime". He pivoted to acting with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1990, which ran six seasons and earned him two Golden Globe nominations. The Bad Boys and Men in Black franchises made him a leading man; Independence Day and I Am Legend cemented the box office math. He chased prestige with Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness, both earning Oscar nominations, and finally won Best Actor in 2022 for playing Richard Williams in King Richard. Minutes before accepting the award, he walked onstage and slapped presenter Chris Rock over a joke about his wife, an act that drew worldwide coverage and ended with Smith resigning from the Academy and receiving a ten-year event ban.
