7. He Deserves An Award For His Contributions to Sci-Fi
Few other actors in his generation have done as much to legitimize science fiction more than Will Smith. A lot of people are riding high on the sci-fi bandwagon these days, but when Will Smith drew in the droves to Independence Day, it was an action hero’s world. Thanks to his repeated entries into the science fiction genre, that run the gamut from blockbuster fluff (Men in Black) to two-handed Oscar films (I Am Legend), Will Smith has done his part (with the help of others, obviously) to turn science fiction into a genre that not only wins the box office every year, but competes with flat out dramas for Oscar gold.
