Surprise, "Bel-Air" fans: Will and Carlton like each other IRL.
"I remember sitting across from you in the table read and thinking, 'Yo, I really like this dude,'" says Olly Sholotan (Carlton) to Jabari Banks (Will) in a videoconference call joined by showrunners Rasheed Newson and T.J. Brady. "That Saturday, we drove around L.A. for, like, 11 hours; we did not stop talking."
"It was really authentic. It felt really pure, the relationship Olly and I formed offscreen," says Banks. "We're re-creating these iconic characters; there's no impersonation, people would see right through that. We had to be honest."
