Vernee Watson may not have been in many episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, but who could forget the woman who played Will Smith's mom, Viola? Watson played the woman who sent Will to stay with his aunt and uncle in 15 episodes of Fresh Prince over the years. While her part was memorable, it was just one role in more than a hundred for Watson. The acting veteran has been racking up credits since 1970, when she had a role in the film Cotton Goes to Harlem.
Since Fresh Prince, Watson has been seen in a number of notable shows and films including Sister, Sister, The Young and the Restless, Antwone Fisher, Days of Our Lives, Suit Up, Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory, General Hospital, and Bob Hearts Abishola.
Watson chalks up her long career to her sense of professionalism. "On set, I would always try to know my lines, pay attention to direction, hit the right marks and just not waste time, get my check and then, 'See you later,'" she told Soap Opera Digest.
