Arts > People > J > Jackson, Samuel L.

Roger Ebert wrote of him: He is perchance better known for his roles in the Quentin Tarantino movies Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, as Jedi Mace Windu in the prequel Star Wars Trilogy, and a Spike Lee movies Do The Right Thing, ''Mo' Better Blues and Jungle Fever''. So, he is normally cast into roles that require the cool, restricted, "in-the-know" black human. His roles most universally require the memorable line delivery; & Jackson's trademark voice inflection lend heavy to this key attribute.

He received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Jules Winnfield inside Bonding resins Fiction.
