Saying this guy "starred" in Star Wars is like saying Al Martino starred in the Godfather but this guy is a man that knows how to make money. Right now,he basically just plays himself in every movie,but so did John Wayne.


Samuel L. Jackson's movies have made more than $7.4 billion -- making him the highest-grossing actor of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Jackson's Jurassic Park ($914 million), Pulp Fiction ($212 million) and the Star Wars prequels ($2.4 billion) are among his top earners.

He averages four films a year. He made six in 2010, four in 2011 and will have three in 2012.

The movies he has been the "STAR" in have been brutal.

I can't stand the fucking guy and was happier than hell when he was killed in Star Wars.

He was horribly miscast as the dwarf in the "Lord of the Rings" movies.

Started making his money after 40. Got his break and never looked back. Never stops working. Good for him...

It's hard to believe how little screen time he got in Goodfellas.

that's misleading; he wasn't the star of those movies (hell, in JP he was marginalized like hell).

he didn't make any of those movies, besides "pulp fiction", any better, either.

I had a running joke with this dude at Beggars who's kind of a nerd but knows everything about pop culture. Anyway we were talking about how Samuel L. Jackson is in every movie ever so we try and find him in every movie ever.

Like for instace

he was the kid in "Up"
He was one of Schindler's friends in Schindler's list
He was the Baby in Look Who's talking (not the voice, the actual baby...the man is talented)
He was the Bag in American Beauty
He was high school kid #3 in American Pie
He was the blond haired jerk in Good Will Hunting's friend
He was Ms Daisy in Driving Ms Daisy


i know, were hilarious
