Why does will smith never play in comedy's any more?

As an actor matures they like to experiment with different roles and be taken seriously. Also they attempt to break out of being typecast - look what happened to Gilligan and Irkel. :-) I think he barely escaped Fresh Prince.

That. and he's probably got enough money that he can pretty much do anything he wants.

Maybe he wants to be known as a more serious actor......Maybe he's grown a bit since he is married with children now, That's just a guess though but I know sometimes actors who start out doing comedy often want to become known for something else.

I don't know, you should ask him personally. Just joking, he's probably try to be seen as a very versatile actor to his fans.

I saw him on 60 min. last week and he was saying that he has consciously chosen movies with action and special effects bc they, historically, bank more in the box office. And he has taken some dramatic roles to challenge him as an actor.

He does...he just was in a movie with that guy from King of Queen's (Kevin James) and he was a dating advisor. Given I can't remember the name of that comedy he starred in that may be the reason he sticks to more dramatic (and memorable) roles!
