Who is the man? Sam Jackson that’s who. This man has one of the most diverse acting resumes around and I’m sure you can name more than just five roles that he excelled in. Well I’m keeping this all before the turn of the century so maybe in 20 years or so I’ll come back and do his roles from the 2000’s. For now enjoy these fine selections!
5.) Jurassic Park as Arnold
This may be one of the first films I remember seeing SLJ in. He didn’t have a big role, but his snarkiness definitely stood out. He of course becomes dino food eventually like most people did in that flick.
4.) Die Hard with a Vengeance as Zeus Carver
This hot-headed shop owner/activist helps John McClaine track down the bad guys in the third installment of the Die Hard franchise. NOBODY plays a hot-head like SLJ, NOBODY.
3.) Deep Blue Sea as Russell Franklin
Probably one of the most shocking deaths ever in film history! Just when you think it’s safe to be a biggest name actor in a film you get the best death scene of the film. Oh sorry SPOILER ALERT!
2.) Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace as Mace Windu
SLJ asked George Lucas for a role in the Star Wars prequels, he even got to pick his own lightsaber color! It must be nice to be SLJ.
1.) Pulp Fiction as Jules Winnfield
Hands down SLJ’s best role ever. He made this Tarantino film what it is today, a cult-classic. You will never forget the lines and will be quoting them for years to come!
