Now This Is a Story All About What Went on Behind the Scenes of ‘The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air’

8. The Butler Did It

Joseph Marcell played “Geoffrey Butler” (yes, that was his last name) the sarcastic butler that every fan wanted to have at their house despite his quips and low-blows. According to the character’s backstory, he was a British immigrant who’d been in service to famous stars like Chuck Norris and Led Zeppelin before coming to work for the Banks. Long before that, his story is even more interesting. After finding fame and glory as a British Olympian, he was caught up in a cheating scandal which not only shamed his country, but led to him being slapped in the face by the Queen. With a royal palm mark still burning his cheek, it’s no wonder Geoffrey turned up his nose at “commoners.”
