Which actor played Maurice, a famous actor, in season 6?

Chris Rock played Maurice, a famous actor, in season 6 of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Rock appeared in the season-six episode “Boxing Helena,” which aired during the sitcom’s final season. He played Maurice, a celebrity connected to Will’s storyline, and also portrayed Maurice’s sister in the same episode. The dual role is an especially memorable piece of the show’s late-period guest casting.

The appearance came when Rock was already established as a comedian and actor, making him one of several recognizable guest stars featured across the series. The sitcom frequently invited musicians, athletes, television personalities, and film stars to play themselves or fictional characters. Other season-six guests included Jaleel White, B.B. King, Wayne Newton, and William Shatner.

A common mix-up is confusing Rock’s role with other celebrity appearances in the series. Brad Garrett appeared in season 5, Charlie Robinson appeared in season 5, and D. L. Hughley appeared in season 3. None of those actors played Maurice; that character was Rock’s season-six part.
