Phil Banks, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Phil Banks or ‘Uncle Phil’ as he was known on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was the father to Carlton, Nicky, Ashley and Hilary Banks. Quick-tempered and a no-nonsense exterior often hid the understanding and compassionate man that he was underneath. He often loses his patience, especially because of Will and Calton’s antics and it is usually Vivian, his on-screen wife who calms him down.
Phil Banks is a lawyer turned judge by profession and has a pretty strict persona that was in keeping with the demand of his profession. However, he is a noble, knowledgeable and inspirational dad who turns out to be one of the best characters on the show.
