There is confusion about the year that James Avery was born. James Avery was either born on Tuesday November 27,1945 or on Saturday November 27,1948. He was either the age of 65 or the age of 68 at the time he passed away.

marcus28Jan 5, 2014

The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air (1990-1996) happens to be one of my favorite television shows,ever. Rest In Peace,James Avery.

marcus28Jan 5, 2014

Rest In Peace: James Avery. You were such a great actor. I love you and miss you. I grew up watching your show: The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air (1990-1996). I still watch it to the present day. You were so extremely hilarious on the show as Uncle Philip "Phil" Banks.

Marcus28Nov 26, 2013
