He is Legend

You can call him the Fresh Prince no more, instead Will Smith is officially the king of Hollywood. Only two days ago Forbes released its first Star Currency Survey, to discover Hollywood's Most Valuable Actors. The only actor with a perfect score, was Mr. Smith.

While he may not be the most highly acclaimed actor, the one with the most Oscars, or even the oldest is it that surprising? Lets just put it this way, of the last few holiday, how many have you spent with him? Every Christmas he has a new film that's respected and does well. This year it was Seven Pounds, last year it was I am Legend (Yes, apparently he is), Ali, and how can we forget when he made us cry with The Pursuit of Happyness. He set us up with our true love with Hitch. Hell, we spend more time with him on the holiday than our own family members!

Oh, and that's not including the 4th of July. What he does then is come out, and save the world in a big blockbuster movie then. Independence Day started it all, and ever since then, we haven't been able to let him go. We've had him come back twice in the Men In Black movies, Hancock, and even Wild Wild West, where we wish we he hadn't.

Still, it seems we can't get enough of Will, it's as if he's everyone's best friend, just at the movies. He's had seven of his live-action films open consecutively at the number one spot in the North American Box Office. He's a man who hasn't got just box office numbers (though he clearly has those) but the admiration of every fan group. He's been nominated not only for Academy Awards but won BET awards, Kid's Choice Awards, MTV Awards, and Teen Choice Awards. He's the guy who if you brought to the 4th of July barbecue not only will your mom like him, so will all five generations present as he drinks a beer, cooks a perfect steak, kills an invading alien, solves all racial prejudices, and then plays on the slip and slide. It's no wonder Will Smith got a perfect score, he's become our perfect actor.
