Description: Samuel Leroy Jackson (born December 21, 1948) is an American film and television actor and film producer. After becoming involved with the Civil Rights Movement, he moved on to acting in theater at Morehouse College, and then films. He had several small roles such as in the film Goodfellas before meeting his mentor, Morgan Freeman, and the director Spike Lee. After gaining critical acclaim for his role in Jungle Fever in 1991, he appeared in films such as Patriot Games, Amos & Andrew, True Romance and Jurassic Park. In 1994, he was cast as Jules Winnfield in Pulp Fiction, and his performance received several award nominations and critical acclaim. (Wikipedia Notes) What do I think? Samuel's role as Jules in Pulp Fiction is the best work he's done to date. I loved how he received redemption and let the two restaurant robbers go. Amazing dialog when he quoted the scriptures! I just love to go see his movies. Great man! I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Please fav, vote, and comment. Thank you all. Peace and love to you.
