Samuel L Jackson is respectfully labeled as one of the hardest-working actors in Hollywood. His films have grossed more money in box-office sales than those of any other actor in the history of film-making.

Among his many award-winning performances, Jackson made movie history with his portrayal of a crack addict in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever when he was awarded the first and only Best Supporting Performance Award ever given by the judges at the Cannes Film Festival.

Jackson most recently starred in the Craig Brewer film Black Snake Moan, New Line's thriller Snakes on a Plane, directed by David R. Ellis and Irwin Winkler's MGM war drama Home of the Brave.

Jackson currently has a supporting role in the Weinstein Co. film 1408 based on the Stephen King novel and will soon star in Rod Lurie's Resurrecting the Champ. In 2008, Jackson's films will include the Doug Liman sci-fi action film Jumper and the quirky crime drama Cleaner directed by Renny Harlin. Jackson recently signed on to star as the nemesis, 'Octopus' in Frank Miller's action drama The Spirit.

Other film credits include his acclaimed turn in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction as well as appearances in the third of the George Lucas Star Wars trilogy, Coach Carter, In My Country, The Man, The Incredibles, S.W.A.T., Formula 51, Changing Lanes, Caveman's Valentine, Red Violin, Shaft, Unbreakable, 187, Eve's Bayou, Jackie Brown, The Negotiator, A Time To Kill, Die Hard with a Vengeance, The Long Kiss Goodnight and Deep Blue Sea.
On the small screen, Jackson serves as executive producer for the Spike TV animated series Afro Samurai which premiered in 2007 and will be returning for a second season. In addition, Jackson partners with New Line Studios to produce and develop projects, which he has the option of starring in.
