Samuel Leroy Jackson is an American actor. One of the most widely recognized actors of his generation, the films in which he has appeared have collectively grossed over $27 billion worldwide, making him the highest-grossing actor of all time.
At the old age of 73, he’s still cranking out film after film as director, producer, and actor. As one of the highest-grossing actors of all time, Jackson is set to receive an honorary Oscar at the upcoming awards ceremony for his contributions to the industry.
His top movies are-
Jungle Fever(1991)– A married Afro-American man contemplates having an affair with an Italian woman but is worried about the racial difference and the societal backlash it could cause. A story of infidelity and interracial relations, Jungle Fever follows a young, married Flipper who begins having an affair with his white secretary Angie.
Jurassic Park (1993)-Jurassic Park is a 1993 American science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Gerald R. Molen. Jurassic Park was the beginning of a long series of films that eventually led to the creation of the Jurassic World films. Samuel L. Jackson plays a minor role as Ray Arnold, a tech worker who helps maintain the park’s security. He has few lines and is quickly killed off, but still, his performance is a memorable one as his character is often quoted for “hold onto your butts.”
Pulp Fiction ( 1994)– In the realm of underworld, a series of incidents intertwines the lives of two Los Angeles mobsters, a gangster’s wife, a boxer and two small-time criminals. We have his performance in Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece Pulp Fiction. Cast as the philosophical Jules Winnfield, Jackson shines as this hit-man who recites the same passage from the Bible to his victims before killing them as a form of some sort of redemption.
A time to Kill ( 1996)– After his ten-year-old daughter is raped, Carl murders her perpetrators. He then faces a trial and calls upon his friend Jake Tyler, a lawyer, to help him win the case.
Jackie Brown (1997)– A flight attendant caught smuggling gun money has to choose between teaming up with the cops to bust her arms dealer boss or keeping her mouth shut and going to jail. As a strong and powerful criminal, Robbie confidently moves large amounts of money and weapons while successfully evading the law, a role that Jackson portrays with ease. Jackie Brown is often neglected, but it was powerful enough to win Jackson a Silver Bear for Best Actor.
Happy Binge watching and enjoying!
