Philip Banks was known as “Uncle” Phil in The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air but even to Will Smith’s character, he was a father figure. Phil spent his days as a successful judge and returned home to deal with what was almost some type of scheme created by Will, Carlton, Hilary, or Ashley.
Phil might have one of the biggest hearts I’ve seen on TV. Will was raised in the inner city and arrived as a teen and Phil was tasked with learning to understand Will’s upbringing while simultaneously turning him into a respectable young adult. Sadly, James Avery passed away before a reunion episode could be filmed.
