Uncle Phil Will Smith NBC, Kevin Winter / Getty Images Why: We watched Will mature on our screens — he's gone from a cheeky teen to a father with an entire empire. There'd be no one better than Will to step into Uncle Phil's wise old shoes. Aunt Viv Regina Hall NBC, Frazer Harrison / Getty Images Why: Regina's got that perfect balance between stern and fun. Can't you imagine her showing everyone up at dance class, Aunt Viv style? Carlton Banks Tyler James Williams NBC, Jon Kopaloff / Stringer Why: Tyler's face screams "captain of the debate team," and those shoulders are just asking to have a sweater draped over them. Hilary Banks Ryan Destiny NBC, Rodin Eckenroth / Getty Images Why: Ryan's got the beauty, the style, and the perfect amount of diva to be the most spoiled member of the Banks family. That glove-and-shirtdress combo even looks like a Hilary original. Ashley Banks Marsai Martin NBC, Leon Bennett / Getty Images Why: Ash was all about the attitude, so Black-ish fans know this one speaks for itself. Geoffrey Butler Billy Porter NBC, Jamie Mccarthy / Getty Images Why: Geoffrey was all about the quick wit and scathing remarks, and while Billy isn't English, the man can throw shade like no other. Jazz Brett Gray NBC, Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images Why: Anyone who's seen On My Block knows that Brett has the comedic genius to pull off Jazz's clownery. Vy Smith Taraji P Henson Nbc / Getty Images, Tasos Katopodis / Getty Images Why: Taraji's got the range to play Will's mum — a woman who knows how to have a good time but is never afraid to put anyone in their place. Helen Smith Tiffany Haddish NBC, David Livingston / Getty Images Why: Can't you just imagine Tiffany revealing a little too much about her sex life and dragging the hell out of Uncle Phil in true Helen fashion? Janice Smith Gabrielle Union NBC, Frazer Harrison / Getty Images Why: Gabrielle has all the charm to play the sweetest of the Smith sisters, tall husband included. Nicky Banks Evan Alex NBC, Jamie Mccarthy / Getty Images Why: If you've seen Us, you'll know Evan is equal parts cheeky and adorable, just like the tiniest member of the Banks family. Lisa Wilkes Keke Palmer NBC, Kevin Winter / Getty Images Why: I think we can all agree that Keke's got all the beauty, charm, and sass to play the woman who finally tamed Will.
