Carlton Banks

Carlton Banks is the deuteragonist of the TV sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and the 2022 remake: Bel-Air. He is the cousin of Will Smith and often his rival, but most often his friend and partner in crime during their various escapades.
He is also the son of Philip and Vivian, the younger brother of Hilary, and the older brother of Ashley and Nicky.
He was portrayed by , who also voices Roland Jackson in Extreme Ghostbusters. He is portrayed by Olly Sholotan in the new remake Bel-Air series.
==Personality==
He is known for being smart, sensitive, naive, and egotistical. He usually puts himself before everyone, with his family being no exception, often taking advantage of them or putting them down to further his own goals. A good example is when his sister Hilary, who was being blackmailed by Will, confided in Carlton, and instead of helping, he decided to blackmail her as well. However, in spite of being very selfish, Carlton loves his family, especially Will, who's like a brother to him. He is similar to Alex P Keaton, both of them are highly intelligent and conservative republican.
Carlton has a high level of respect for his father, almost always taking his side. Even when Philip acts irrationally, Carlton will still usually agree with him. This nigh-mindless respect has been pointed out by Will, who accuses Carlton of being a suck-up, and not just with his father either. Carlton shamelessly admits that he's a suck-up, and many times uses this "skill" to inspire nepotism with his parents or authority figures when it suits him.
