The name I am highlighting in this post is that of American actor Samuel L. Jackson, who works across various media beyond film, including television series and voice acting.
The actor has built an iconic career; although he is one of the most popular and highest-grossing actors in film history, his focus tends to be more on entertainment than on traditional awards. For this reason, Jackson has won few international awards and received only one honor from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: an Honorary Oscar in 2022. Other notable awards include a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor (1995) and an MTV Movie Award (2013).
Samuel L. Jackson has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located at 7020 Hollywood Boulevard, in the Motion Pictures category.
Samuel Leroy Jackson was born on December 21, 1948, in Washington, D.C., United States, and is 77 years old.
Samuel L. Jackson is married to actress and director LaTanya Richardson (1949-). They met in college in 1974 and married in 1980. Their relationship, spanning over 45 years, is considered one of the longest-lasting in Hollywood. They attribute the success of their union to mutual commitment and a pact to overcome adversities together; the actor has stated that he and his wife have done “crazy things” throughout their more than four decades of marriage. LaTanya also helped the star overcome alcohol and illicit drug abuse early in his career. They have a daughter, producer and assistant director Zoe Jackson (1982-).

ReplyDeleteHe really is a great actor :-D One of a kind :-D
ReplyDeleteSamuel L Jackson called Argentina "the most racist country in the world," it's almost funny...
ReplyDeleteGreetings, dear Theda, have a good weekend.
Don't be shaken. The United States has a huge history of slavery and racial segregation. And Samuel L. Jackson, motivated by sports fanaticism, came out with that opinion, which is both disrespectful and an embarrassment that goes beyond the bounds of art.
