Samuel L. Jackson Resources

 
 
Samuel Leroy Jackson (born December 21, 1948) is an American actor. He has starred in many Hollywood movies. His performance in Jungle Fever was so acclaimed, the 1991 Cannes Film Festival created a Supporting Actor award just for him. Along with that award, he has won many others including a Silver Berlin Bear, A BAFTA Film Award, and two Independent Spirit Awards.
 
He is perhaps best known for his roles in the Spike Lee movies Do The Right Thing, Mo' Better Blues and Jungle Fever, the Quentin Tarantino movies Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, and as jedi Mace Windu in the prequel Star Wars Trilogy. Thus, he is usually cast into roles that involve a cool, controlled, "in-the-know" black man. His roles most always involve a memorable line delivery; and Samuel's trademark voice inflection lend heavily to this key attribute.
 
He received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction.
 
His impressive film career has given him the title of highest box office grossing actor, just passing Harrison Ford.
 
Roger Ebert wrote:
 
:Like Bill Cosby, Jackson is arguing against the anti-intellectual message that success for young black males is better sought in the worlds of rap and sports than in the classroom. http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050113/REVIEWS/41228004/1001
