i'm sure this doesn't warrant a new thread but whatevs, this has been on my mind since I heard somebody around here say that was Q in the FPOBA opening credits.

KW: Before we start, I hope you could answer this trivia question. I recently
interviewed Rashida Jones and I was asking her about the opening sequence of
every episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Towards the end of the theme
song, when Will gets out of the taxi, I always assumed that the cabdriver was
Quincy Jones. Looks just like him. When I asked Rashida, she said had never
heard that rumor before, and that she didn’t know for sure, but she didn’t think it
was her father. Can you settle the mystery once and for all and tell us whether
that’s Quincy behind the wheel?


JPS: Yes I can. That cabdriver was not Quincy Jones. If I remember correctly,
Will said he was actually somebody from Philly. And it's a cabdriver for sure. I
just can't remember what the story is. But it absolutely is not Quincy Jones.


so there's a bit of trivia for the FPOBA archives. I never thought it was him though, lol.
Jada answered the question during one of her HawthoRNe interviews

I never thought it was him and had no idea it was such a speculated thing.

Maybe he was made up to look like him then! I always just assumed it was him. Why else would Will make reference to it in the lyrics?
