James Avery of the original main cast died aged 68 in 2013 of complications after open heart surgery, so there will be an homage to him on Will’s Snapchat finale.
The two parts of the finale will drop this Wednesday and Thursday and in preview clips Will can be seen reminiscing with his old cast-mates.
Will recalled that it was because of Alfonso’s advice that he decided to use his real name Will Smith for his character on the program.
It was such a deep insight that you had,’ said Will. ‘You said: “Because people are going to call you that for the rest of your life.”‘

‘You would see in people’s eyes when they were about to sneak the handshake and I would just grab their hand and hold it, so besides that I’m good,’ Jeff shared.
Will’s guests have ranged from supermodel Tyra Banks to Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases.
The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air ran for 148 episodes across six seasons on NBC from 1990 through 1996 and turned Will into a major star.

Janet starred as James’ wife for the first three seasons after which Daphne Maxwell Reid stepped into the role for the rest of the series.
Amid a string of retro sitcom reboots Will categorically told E! News in 2016 that The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air would be revived ‘pretty close to when hell freezes over.’
Tatyana was asked about a potential reunion on Good Morning America this past December and said: ‘Oh, you know, I would be down to do it. I know some other cast members might be,’ prompting a round of applause.
‘But I don’t know. I have no idea if anything like that is happening,’ she clarified, adding that ‘I would totally work with everybody everyday again. We love each other. We still do. I mean, it was so much fun.’
