Here's Where Geoffrey The Butler From The Fresh Prince Is Today

Although Joseph Marcell has spent most of his life in England, he was born on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. The Government of Saint Lucia named Marcell as a Goodwill Ambassador for the country in January 2020. In that role, he is expected to "represent Saint Lucia locally, regionally and internationally" and leverage his "profile and celebrity status to tap into access for growth and to forge strategic partnership between the Cultural Development Foundation and other related agencies." 

Marcell responded to the good news by tweeting, "Honoured to have been asked to be a Goodwill Ambassador for St Lucia." The actor has received a diplomatic passport and the title of "Your Excellency" — though he said that he "won't insist" on being referred to by that title (via Twitter). 

While many of Marcell's post-Fresh Prince projects have been based in London, he did take part in a Caribbean animated series called Battledream Chronicle. During a 2017 appearance on Breakfast Television Toronto, Marcell said the show is "the first animated Caribbean series of our lifetime, so it's really special."

At 71 years old, Marcell has managed to remain an iconic '90s actor and a well-respected member of the London theater community, while also giving back to his home country of Saint Lucia. He is truly an international treasure! We can't wait to see what he accomplishes next.
