Jimmy Akingbola talks about Bel-Air the new Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reimagining

Ойын-сауық

When you hear the name Jimmy Akingbola without fail it is always followed up with, ‘He’s one of the nicest men in the business.’ and I have to agree. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Jimmy for a number of years, he’s a busy man but always has time for you.
The London born actor has had such an eclectic career, but perhaps his latest project Bel-Air is one of the most exciting. We all remember the ‘80s classic The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air which catapulted Will Smith to stardom, well the show has been re-imagined for a 21st century audience, and Jimmy’s nuanced performance as Geoffrey the house manager leaves an indelible impression. I was lucky enough to have a much overdue catch-up with him, as we reflect on his career and ceaseless commitment to his craft.

    I love how Belair takes the characters from the 90's and peels back the layers that couldn't be captured effectively in the sitcom. The current reimagined version is well-written and the spin on some of the characters is unexpectedly refreshing. Becauze Belair provides such relatable personalities, the drama series elicits a host of deep emotions that the original comedy series would not. The dynamics of modern culture are expressed extremely well. The folks who portray the characters bring a new life to the screen. Although Will is the star and focus of the series, Geoffrey is by far the most captivating regardless of who is on the screen with him. If you want constant comedic antics this is not the series for you. If you prefer a multi-layered experience with a culturally competent drama framed by the "Fresh Prince" storyline, you will appreciate Belair. Brilliant remix of a classic sitcom.

    Uses half the title of the original to lure in old fans, has none of the charm of the original AND all the characters “have new twists on old characters” ... why would I want Diet “Bel Air” when I can watch re-runs of the actual Fresh Prince whenever I want? Why even bother using the old names then scrap the characters’ personalities? The Lady Ghostbusters (that’s all that was folks, let’s be honest) already tried this and that’s why they bombed, guess these folks will have to learn the hard way too 😒😒😒
