The episode was part from a Smith’s Snapchat series called “Will From Home”.
Smith shared the emotive video of Avery on Instagram alongside a touching message.
The actor posted: “Our show wouldn’t have been HALF what it was without the talent and light that was James Avery. We all love and miss you, James.”
