KC native Morgan Stevenson Cooper was driving on US-71 highway in Kansas City when the concept for a re-imagined “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” clicked into place. Eventually, Will Smith got looped in, and “Bel-Air” — Peacock’s most-streamed original series — was born. Last month, its fourth and final season premiered. Over the weekend, @Jabari Banks, who plays the lead role of Will Smith in the show, held an acting masterclass in KC with a 90-minute workshop focused on character, emotion and on-camera truth. The actor spent over three extra hours beyond the 90-minute slotted schedule with Kansas City actors. “This is the birthplace of Bel-Air, so you know I had to pay homage,” Banks said.
