Who is the youngest Banks in "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air?"

When Will Smith's character crashed into the Banks family's pristine Bel Air life like a hurricane in high-top sneakers, he joined a household already full of memorable personalities. From the stern but loving Uncle Phil to the elegant and spirited Aunt Viv, each Banks brought their own flavor to the show. But which member of this iconic TV family was the baby of the bunch?

The answer is: Nicky Banks

If you shouted "Ashley!" like Jazz getting tossed out the front door, I hate to break it to you – but you're wrong. Nicky Banks takes this one, swooping in during season 3 of "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" to claim the title of youngest Banks kid. Poor Ashley got demoted from baby sister to middle child status.

Ross Bagley eventually became the face of Nicky we all know, but not before a couple sets of twins handled the baby years (because trying to direct an actual infant on a TV set is exactly as impossible as it sounds). By season 5, Nicky had somehow speed run his toddler years – a classic TV move that basically screams "we need this kid old enough to deliver punchlines."

The little guy turned out to be comedy gold. He gave us Will's hilarious attempts at responsible parenting, Uncle Phil's marshmallow-soft dad moments, and some genuinely funny one-liners of his own.
