How do you spell very cool Jedi? S-A-M-U-E-L-J-A-C-K-S-O-N. He's starred in many movies. My three favorite movies that he's starred in are Star Wars I, II, & III.I loved his performance in Loaded Weapon 1. It's too bad that that movie had no sequels. I didn't like Coming to America but I did like his short performance in it. Samuel L. Jackson even starred in a cameo at the end of the Iron Man movie.MR. Jackson is so rich that he probably uses one hundred dollar bills to wipe his ass instead of toilet paper. Star Wars II & III weren't the only films that he starred in with Hayden Christensen. They also worked together in Jumper. I give Samuel Jackson a 5 star rating.

Erratic, uneven and apparently has difficulty in consistently picking good roles. He can be brilliant, and he can be astonishingly bad.

Gets my vote for the coolest living actor.

ALL these movies were raw!!!

a 4.5 for mister Jackson. excellent actor. he has scared the hell out of me in certain roles with just a look. but can be funny as well. one of the top current actors in the business. talented for sure.

Has anyone else in history dropped MF as many times as he has in their movies? No? CLASSIC!

Awesome actor.
Lucylking 06/30/2008
My only problem with SLJ is that he'll appear in ANY movie. He's great. But it'd be more of a treat if he was a little more selective in his roles.
♥ Kim ♥ 06/24/2008
another great actor

Mr. Windu
Musicfan19 04/09/2008
One of the worst actors i've ever watched!
trebon1038 04/02/2008
I really like him but the majority of his better work is in action films. Loved his very short stint in "Coming to America". Great actor but cant give him five stars with the more rounded guys on this list.
ILikePie 03/31/2008
He doesn't have to be talented. He makes every movie he's in.Don't believe me? Do you think anyone would have cared about "Snakes on a Plane- starring Sylvester Stallone"?
Binnietheblood ybooh 03/27/2008
What ain't no country I ever heard of! They speak English in What?
numbah16tdhaha 08/24/2007
I'd say he's a great actor who has a knack for ending up in bad movies. I just can't give the five no matter how badass Mace Windu and Jules were thanks to those MFing snakes on that Mfing plane...
Victor83 08/24/2007
Being generous with 2 stars...WAY overrated.
Spike65 08/24/2007
One of the best second or third people in a ensemble. May become a leading man someday. We'll see. Enjoy him work thus far.
cherokeebetty 09/12/2006
To me he is not the best actor, but I think he is one of the most entertaining. I have rarely had a dull moment when he is on-screen.
Jeremy00081 09/12/2006
This guy is very cool, and a great actor. It just doesn't seem that he can play a character other than himself. Still an awesome actor though.
Vudija 08/13/2006
From one of of the spectrum to another, he plays great characters so long as he can retain the "bad boy" image. Whether he's playing a good guy or a bad guy, he's completely wrapped up in his work, making him that much more captivating to watch.
tminer 02/24/2006
BAAAAAAAAAD AAAAASSSSSS
joshua_01 02/13/2006
One of the best actors of our time. He is a very good actor cause he can play the character of a criminal to a character of a police officer.
Spungold 01/08/2006
HE's a bad A** Mother F**ker.
Black-Velvet 10/23/2005
I think his performance on Pulp Fiction establishes very easily as one of the best actors of the twentieth century. None of his other performances have matched up to that.
Twitchin' Monkey 09/06/2005
He's a decent actor, but i'd like to see him play something besides the angry black man. like he did in star-wars. (how the heck he got picked to be a jedi master, i'll never know) but it was nice to see him shake off the tough black guy role for a movie. i'd like to see him in a more serious, down-to-earth role. and as many movies as he does, maybe i'll get that soon.
Wavebacker 05/21/2005
Is there a movie this guy WONT do? Samuel L. Jackson is good for several movies a year. He's always working and , to his credit, he's not bad. Still doing too much work will oversaturate you to the public. Jackson can act and will turn in a good performance in a good movie ( or a bad one), but he works too much but so far it hasnt caught up to him.
kattwoman 05/19/2005
i liked him in pulp fiction and hes a decent actor.he was in a movie about a shark that was ok but he played a part in the movie that came to such a sudden unexpected demise that i dont think anyone saw that coming
southparker9 05/02/2005
Believable at times. Seems angry in many roles. Does too many movies. He should be more selective.
Infairi 03/15/2005
He did a pretty good job in Unbreakable, though his character is a little strange.
Rocketqueen 03/12/2005
He is by far my favorite male actor of all time, every movie he touches turns to gold!
Beres 03/01/2005
I like him but am surprised at the amount of success he's had. I don't know if it's because of changing attitudes or bad judgement. His on camera 'cool' personna has a lot to do with it I think. Favorite line: She white though to Robert Deniro about his girlfriend (Bridget Fonda) in Jackie Brown.
Maomania 03/01/2005
he is a bada....but he can just play certain kind of characters. I can't give him just three stars cause he pretty much plays himself in his movies.
magneto101 02/25/2005
one word starwars
dpostoskie 02/04/2005
Without QT, where would he be?
nanie 01/12/2005
A truly great actor, he gives his all in what-ever he does.
Working-Class_Hero 11/27/2004
He's okay .. but still he can't make it to a 1st class actor, always been 3rd or hardly 2nd ..
middlefinger 11/14/2004
His best work was in A TIME TO KILL. He works a lot because he's good at what he does. If the movie-makers keep offering him parts, he should take them wherever/whenever possible. He's blessed to be able to find work in a job that he loves.
Siamak_A 05/20/2004
Hi Boss Jackson:)i am your iranian fan. You are very famouse here in Iran and all of us admire you because your movies teach us alot of things,we never forget you and we wish to see you someday in Iran with us ,God bless you The Good Man :).
Guava Monkey 04/22/2004
Has a great screen presence. Matched Travolta in 'Pulp Fiction' and excellent in 'Unbreakable'. Hardly a 'tough black man' dutch178.
dutch178 01/09/2004
Really dug his work, until I saw him on a few too many sports talk show, where he felt comfortable enough to let his guard down, and a self righteous racist came shining through. Tired of Hollywood's use of him as the classic Tough Black man Of course that whole stereotype is as overplayed as Britanny Spears. It was fresh and funny in Pulp Fiction, but by the time we got to Shaft, it was stale and 95 percent of the roles he is suited for had been played out. Next!
