Biography

Joseph Marcell, a globally acclaimed St Lucian-born British actor, initially garnered widespread recognition and acclaim for his unforgettable and iconic portrayal of Geoffrey, the quintessential English butler, on the beloved and highly acclaimed NBC sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which premiered in September 1990 and concluded with its final episode in May 1996, marking a significant and lasting impact on the world of television and entertainment.

Marcell's existence commenced on August 18, 1948, in the picturesque island of Saint Lucia, where the earliest chapters of his life story unfolded. As fate would have it, his family relocated to England when he was merely nine years of age, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his life's narrative.

Decades later, Marcell now calls Southall, a quaint and charming suburb nestled within the London Borough of Ealing, his home. This picturesque setting, situated in the heart of the vibrant city of London, provides the perfect backdrop for his daily life.
