Smith was born in Bell, California,[1] and began playing the bass at the age of eight, inspired by his older brother, jazz musician Carson Smith.[2] He made his performing debut aged 13 at the Compton Community Center.[3]
Smith was playing with Monk at the Los Angeles jazz club Shelly's Manne-Hole when he was spotted by director Guy Hamilton, who cast him as the assassin Mr. Kidd (alongside Bruce Glover as Mr. Wint) in the 1971 James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.[2][3] He went on to have several other minor acting roles on film and television.[5]
