Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel Leroy Jackson was born 21 Dec 1948, in Washington, D.C. and is an American Academy Award-nominated and BAFTA-winning actor.
Jackson is married to Latanya Richardson and has a daughter named Zoe. He is a huge sports fan and an avid golfer. Jackson has won multiple awards for his film performances and has been portrayed in various forms of media including films, television series, and lyrics. Jackson has starred in over sixty films throughout his career and is currently working on five films that will debut between 2008 and 2009.
Jackson has noted that he chooses roles that are "exciting to watch" and have an "interesting character inside of a story", and that in his roles he wanted to "do things [he hasn't] done, things he saw as a kid and wanted to do and now has an opportunity to do".
<b>Wise words:</b> "I am as passionate about golf as I am about acting. The year I started golf I had a caddie, and one day I did get angry with myself and threw a club. My caddie told me: 'You're not good enough to get mad'. I have n Ever thrown a club since. I enjoy my golf, it does not matter whether I play great or badly. I let it go."
