Samuel L. Jackson

It goes without saying that Samuel L. Jackson will always be a brilliant and exceptional actor. On the other hand, despite celebrating 50 years in the film industry, he has undoubtedly cemented his name by contributing his acting skills to most Hollywood blockbuster films on record. Together with Elaine May and Liv Ullmann, the actor 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 indeed paid off.

Jackson already has $10.1 billion in gross sales throughout his career. Indeed, the name “Samuel L. Jackson” doesn’t 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 gold twice a week.
