Samuel Jackson | Born 1948

It goes without saying that Samuel L. Jackson will always be a brilliant and exceptional actor. Having recently celebrated 50 years in the film industry, he has surely cemented his name by contributing his acting skills to the majority of Hollywood films ever made. The actor, together with Elaine May and Liv Ullmann, takes credit as one of the recipients of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Honorary Awards for 2022. Jackson’s five decades of acting surely paid off.

Having grossed $10.1 billion throughout his career, his name would not surely need any introduction. The actor’s most successful movies include the Avengers franchise, A Time to Kill, and Django Unchained. The actor also describes himself as a “hard taskmaster for some directors” since he includes being able to refuse extra takes in his contract along with having enough time to play golf twice a week.
