the "why dont he want me" part was unscripted. Will's dad actually walked out on him and he got real emotions. James Avery gave a real response when he pulled him in: "now that's acting"

My biological father left me at 10 years old. I became a father at 16, my daughter is 21 now and just graduated UCLA. YOUR PAST DOES NOT DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE. Be “GREAT”.

We are not defined by our wounds and scars, but by what we chose to do in spite of them.

One of the best things I ever heard said was: “It’s not what you do that determines who you are, It’s who you are that determines what you do”.

The original script called for his character, Will, to act nonchalantly about his father's abandonment . Smith ad-libbed the emotional breakdown, channeling his own real-life trauma of being abandoned by his father.

that Sean was real emotional because that was how he really felt when he was a kid. that hug was not part of the script it was 1 person consoling another and it made that show
