Will Smith revealed he almost turned down the role of Agent J in his mega-hit sci-fi comedy "Men in Black" until executive producer Steven Spielberg personally interceded.

During a Thursday appearance on Kevin Hart’s "Hart to Heart" talk show, the 54-year-old actor remembered how he initially planned to reject the part since he was opposed to making another alien-themed movie after starring in the science fiction blockbuster "Independence Day" the year prior.

Smith said his former manager James Lassiter, who he described as the "arbiter of taste" for his career at the time, strongly advocated for him to take the role.

"In the heyday, the 10 movies I made at the top of my career, [James] was choosing the films," the Oscar winner said, via Insider.

Smith continued, "He just had an eye. I didn’t want to make ‘Pursuit of Happyness.’ I didn’t want to make ‘Ali.’ And [James] picked ‘Men in Black.’"

"I kind of understood ‘Men in Black’ a little bit but I didn’t want to make ‘Men in Black.’ That was the next year after ‘Independence Day.’ So I didn’t want to make two alien movies back to back."

However, once Spielberg, whose company Amblin Entertainment was producing "Men in Black," caught wind of Smith's reluctance, the famed director took matters into his own hands.

"Steven Spielberg sent a helicopter for me," the Pennsylvania native said. "I was in New York. It landed at his house. And, like, he had me at hello."

"And it was the first time I ever had lemonade with carbonated water. You can’t say no to that," he added.

"He said the coldest s--t," Smith recalled. "He said, ‘Tell me why you don’t want to make my movie…’ And he was the producer."

"And he put the ellipsis at the end, it was the dot, dot, dot. If he had continued, he would have said, ‘Joker, you know I made ‘Jaws,’ right? You know I made ‘E.T.’‘"

After meeting with Spielberg, Smith was convinced to sign on to the film, which would become a global hit and spawn a major movie franchise.

The "King Richard" star went on to reprise his role as Agent J, alongside co-star Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K, in 2002's "Men in Black 2" and 2012's "Men in Black 3." 

Wisconsin police said a suspect fought with officers at a hospital after he was arrested for a DUI and stolen gun charge on Thursday.

Kansas resident Giovanny Zendejas-Castellanos, 24, was charged with operating while intoxicated (OWI), possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and resisting arrest on Thursday night. He was also charged with endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon.

The Janesville Police Department reported that their officers responded to a traffic accident at Sidelines Sports Bar at around 10:24 p.m. 

Witnesses told police that they saw the driver, Zendejas-Castellanos, crash into a boulder in the parking lot.

"Just before officers were arriving, the reporting person advised the driver returned back on scene and was back by the vehicle," the Janesville Police Department said in a press release.

After the suspect failed field sobriety tests and showed signs of impairment, he was arrested for a first-offense OWI.

After officers noticed that Zendejas-Castellanos came back to the scene without the backpack he left with, the police’s K-9 tracked it to a field. The backpack contained a stolen firearm, resulting in an additional charge.

"He later fought with officers at a local hospital and was eventually taken to the Rock County Jail where he is waiting for his initial appearance," police said. The department did not disclose if their officers were injured.

The Janesville Police Department is actively investigating the incident.
