It has been four years since Will Smith last leapt into action to
save the world from supernatural peril, which seems like a long time given the
fact that he's been consistently vanquishing killer extraterrestrials, deadly
robots and homicidal mutants for 16 years. This summer sees the return of Smith
as Agent J in "Men in Black 3," the newest installment in the
popular franchise that helped make him one of the biggest movie stars in the
world. Although he started his career as the rapper Fresh Prince, which he
parlayed into a career as a television star, Smith's star has shined brightest
as the wisecracking hero in a string of sci-fi-driven box-office blockbusters.
And even when he gets all serious and proves he's a real actor with a capital
'A' in movies like "Seven Pounds" and "Ali," Will Smith is at his best when he is trying to
save the world in the genre films that have made him a star. Here's a look back
at the highlights (and lowlights) of Will Smith saving the world.
