Samuel L. Jackson is the highest grossing actor in history. Reportedly, his films have earned $7.5 Billion worldwide. A great feat by any actor indeed. While this may seem like a surprise to some, it isn't to me, because I know Samuel L. Jackson has acted in at least three billion movies! From Coach Carter, The Other Guys, Coming to America, Star Wars and The Avengers just to name a few of the billion. Many may not know this, but Samuel L. Jackson is a former drug addict that when struggling to book gigs, turned to crack. Luckily, his career took off and he has become a prominent actor in Hollywood, unlike many other crackheads.
I think that is a huge part of his success, crack! He has a crackhead work ethic! Smokers will do any job, no matter how risky or dangerous in record speed. Need your gutters cleaned? Crackhead at your service! Need your basement floor installed? Crackhead will do the job! Toilet clogged? Crackhead will fix it with their bare hands! Samuel L. Jackson works movies the same way. Need an actor to keep a white girl on a chain? Sam will do it. Need someone to be startled about muthafuckin snakes on some muthafuckin plane? Sam go it. I don't believe he has ever turned down a role in his career. He works movie after movie, sometimes shooting two at a time. That's talent!
Don't get me wrong, the man has classics under his belt like Reservoir Dogs, but also has movies like Deep Blue. You probably have thirty Samuel L. Jackson movies in your collection and never noticed it. Eight out of ten movies starring a black actor, Samuel L. Jackson is in that movie. Movies, video games, television shows, and all, he's everywhere. He just collected my trash last week and he's supposed to be starting quarterback this Sunday in Miami! Is there anything Samuel L. Jackson can't do?
No. The answer is no. That wasn't rhetorical, he can do everything!
