Sorry to learn about that after his death
Yeah it took me a few seconds to remember that that's a pure fantasy/dream sequence
Especially this bit because the whole literal song and dance was improvised with Avery having absolutely no clue about it beforehand
"Did you hear the bad news? Uncle Phil died."
It took about a half second of stunned silence for me to consider how this may sound, seeing as I actually have an Uncle Phil.
when he high-fives Will is just great
And he credited that initial moment of ribbing to the beginnings of their dynamic.
I've always loved this video, because he never took the Shredder role as a joke, he just dove right in. He probably spent more time thinking about Shredder than Eastman and Laird did!
And James Avery rushes in out of nowhere and beats the crap out of them, glances at us, and rushes out again.
Keep fighting the good fight, Dream Angel James Avery
Instead he is just incredibly happy with the job, and saw it as a legitimate character with depth. He just had this zeal for acting that makes me sad he didn't get bigger parts after Fresh Prince.
Hold up, I think there's something in my eye.
Fresh Prince of Bel Air forever
I just about cried when I read the news yesterday.
So very upsetting.
Man, Uncle Phil was the kind of father figure we all needed.

God dammit. I didn't watch every episode, but this clip makes me teary every time.
Now that I have a baby son of my own it downright breaks my heart in a way I didn't have the perspective for before.
