SAMUEL L. JACKSON

Samuel Leroy Jackson (born December 21, 1948) is an American film and television actor. Jackson came to fame in the early 1990s, after a series of well-reviewed performances, and has since become a major film star and cultural icon, having appeared in a large number of high-grossing films. He has also appeared in over seventy films, including Pulp Fiction, Eve's Bayou, and the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Jackson's many roles has made him one of the highest grossing actors at the box office. Jackson has won multiple awards for his film performances and has been portrayed in various forms of media including films, television series, and songs.

Jackson has noted that he chooses roles that are "exciting to watch" and have an "interesting character inside of a story", and that in his roles he wanted to "do things [he hasn't] done, things [he] saw as a kid and wanted to do and now [has] an opportunity to do". (via Wikipedia)
