I ran into him in Malibu back in 99. I was like “uncle Phil!!!!” He gave me a polite smile “ hello young man”
Alphonso said it right “the number one dad in all of television history”
Rest easy James❤️

Aww my heart🥺
Wow❣
That's a lovely memory. You know you lived a great life when the people you worked with have nothing but kind things to say about you and beautiful memories to share.
James Avery wasn't acting, he was just being himself.

Well, there was a part where he was reading a book of medieval tortures for Will.

“That character was a father to America.”
EXACTLY.
Not just America.
Trust me, it was way beyond just America. Uncle Phil was a role model on a global scale.
And Australia! He will always be another father to me even tho we never met, he has taught me so much just by watching the show, I love him and he is one of my fav actors of all time. He was uncle Phil and one hell of a great father!
im from germany and its breaking me that this legend is dead

Well said, James!
RIP Brother.
I always think about this quote 🥺
Amen, I remember that episode.
I remember that...Very strong. Always felt super authentic when he gave those lessons. That's why people relate to Uncle Phil so much.
I remember this scene 😔
“Number 1 dad in television history” no cap
Yeah right

People may say Cliff huxtable because the Cosby show was more popular but to me uncle Phil is number 1

that scene when will's dad rejects him and will breaks down "why doesn't he want me?" and Phil comes in and comforts will was such an emotional moment on the show, the entire audience were in absolute shock you could hear a pin drop from the silence.
I was crying no cap
I cried too that episode was painful to watch as I also relate to that episode
Maannn that episode got me crying
I cried twice.
That is real emotion coming from Will. Uncle Phil knew he had to hug Will in that scene.
Will’s real bio father did leave him in real life.
I can imagine how proud James was when he saw how good a career Will got during and after Fresh Prince. Bad boys, men in black, I am legend. iRobot, hitch ect ect.
Facts! Pursuit of happiness was good too
Imagine how more proud he would be seeing Jaden Smith wow

His character honestly stole the show half of the times. Sorry Will, but Uncle Phil was my favorite character of the show. Heck at one point I wished he was my father since my own had passed away. Not because of the money, or power he held in his career, but because I saw just how damn great of a father he was to all the kids on the show.
RIP
Sorry for your loss. We all wished he was our dad.
I think many of us secrectly wanted uncle Phil as our dad..he was as great off screen as on it. Love him to this day. I hope he is resting in peace❤️
Sorry for your loss man
He was a father to all of us growing up, he just had to do it through a tv not in person
Uncle Phil was the father, that fatherless children like myself, wished to have. Thank you Sir
💪🏼
Amennn 🙏🏾♥️
Sorry that you are fatherless bro
he raised me when my dad couldn’t
Yeah i remember watching the show when I was younger I would go to sleep wondering what my dad looked like
He definitely was the dad to kids that didn’t have father figures in their lives. RIP uncle Phil
Yes Sir!
What should this been for?

He will always be uncle Phil and shredder to me. 🥰
My father died on 9th of February 2021. He was the wisest, kindest person in my life. Like uncle Phil was.

It wouldn't seem right to not include Danny Tanner in the group, Avery/Goodman/Saget were veritable legends of the 90s, and honestly still share that pedistal with Carl Winslow (Reginald VelJohnson), Tim Allen, Frank Lambert (Patrick Duffy from Step by Step), and William Russ (Alan Matthews) from Boy Meets World. Maybe that's my main group, but I can imagine others share a good deal of the same list thanks to TGIF.

"A father to America" - just want you to know that here, being an 80's kid, growing up with Fresh Prince here in Denmark, he was an inspiration here too, Phil showed how the "though love" was real love

I always call him Uncle Phil.. Everytime I saw him in different shows and movies. I never call him by his real name.
The last thing Alfonso said, "he was a father to all of America." 100% true.
He was father to more than just America, I’m Canadian and he was my uncle too
Yes he Defenirteley was
To all of the world.
I watched in the UK and I can tell you that he was international. Some countries had more viewers, but he was international!

I am Venezuelan and I can assure you that uncle Phil was not only a father for the USA, but also for many of us here in Latin America... The way he spoke, the way he gave to Will (and many of us as spectators) lessons about life was pure and genuine. He was such a gentleman and an amazing model to follow.
RIP Uncle Phil.
i am Croatian and i can agree with every word. he was the best❤
Wow ❤
Same for a whole generation in Spain.
To me with Phil is this is a man who has taken in his nephew that he grew to love as his own.
deal with said nephew changing both his way and his kids but also helped all his children grow up and let them make mistakes. A man that was protective of his family, who taught his children that not everything was easy. Became a father to a boy that needed one. Tough but fair, listened to his family. Held his temper in until he could not anymore but never lost it unless it was needed. Let his kids know that he wasn't invincible (heart attacks). He was one of the best t.v. fathers who you could see in real life.
Am i the only one who still watch the fresh Prince everyday? For me its like a medicine.
Yup. That show can brighten my mood no matter what.
You're not the only one. I grew up with Fresh Prince, Friends, and Frasier, and I can rewatch them over and over and never get tired of them. They're one of the few things I have in my life that really comfort me and help me forget about my problems in life for a little bit each day.
@@iiisixstringiii8285 can’t stand friends or the other one.
@@olly2027 Well, everyone has their own taste. I myself hated Frasier as a kid, and didn't get into until I was in my 20's (I'm 31 now). It was really boring as a kid/teen, but once I was older, many of the jokes and situations the characters wound up in made sense, haha.
I watch fresh Prince Evry day
uncle phil was the father i never had..
it wasn't just about will for me it was about phil and his morals
and love he showed to his family.
amazing father who never knew what he did for me.

Rest in peace James Avery! you will always be Uncle Phil to us and we will never forget you !
You know he was an amazing person when they managed to get both Aunt Vivians to come together and talk about how amazing he was .
Especially considering how insane the first aunt Viv went..
ruclips.net/video/5laBo46EBZo/видео.html
To call someone crazy is to belittle their experience. She was actually going through a lot during that time and will smith made it more difficult for her. Can't blame her for holding a grudge
@Timz Tv
To summarize
OG Aunt Viv basically had drama and butt heads alot with Will Smith. She was removed out of the blue with New Aunt Viv. Everyone had a perspective on OG Aunt Viv and mainly it was due to her arguing with Will Smith.

R.I.P. Uncle Phil
My favourite scene was with James and Will. Will's father had briefly re-entered his life and then stood him up. Will broke down and asked "Why doesn't he want me?" It was so powerful, that I still cry when thinking about it 25 years later. I would like to thank the entire cast for the work they put into that show. Definitely a big part of my childhood.
I'll never forget your moment with him during that "dad scene". Very emotional
I still say that scene is one of the most powerful and emotional scenes in the history of television
@@riderzinc I just watched it again recently, and man, it gets me everytime! I feel Will and James' dedicated/genuine acting even though I've never experienced this with my dad. I put myself in their shoes. Very powerful scene that still holds up today and into the future

“You the only father that I ever knew “
That scene after Will's dad split again and uncle Phil is there for him was the first time I cried in a show.
And its crazy so many people can relate to that
Because Uncle Phil stood there and listened to Will vent his anger without interrupting. And then grabbed him and hugged him tight when the anger turned into raw sadness and pain. You could here the off scene actors crying and I shed tears at home too

@@Overqualification *Search up will Smith & Janet Hubert. They had issues with each other since after the 3rd season of fresh Prince in '93 which is why they replaced her. After 27 years, they finally made up a month ago.*
In late 2000, I briefly met James Avery at a party in Los Angeles when I worked for a local catering company. I forgot who owned the house it was at, but it belonged to a music producer and most of the guests were very famous Jazz musicians (I'm pretty sure I talked to Oscar Peterson that night as well, was too star struck to ask). The evening turned into one massive jam session. I didn't know about Mr Avery's love of Jazz music until I saw this clip, but I imagine he must have had an enjoyable time. The music was divine and even though I was just there to serve refreshments, having the privilege of 'being there' in any capacity was a gift indeed :-)
That was probably *Quincy Jones'* house. He was also a Producer of *The Fresh Prince,* as well as a longtime jazz musician. A very talented and highly respected producer/musician, with credits from the 30s through *Cab Calloway, Myles Davis, Jimi Hendrix,Michael Jackson'sTHRILLER* and beyond, both on stage as well as in the studio.
