Samuel L. Jackson, now — He followed with roles in three Spike Lee films back-to-back-to back — ‘Do The Right Thing,’ ‘Mo’ Better Blues’ and especially his award-winning performance in Jungle Fever’. By the mid-1990s Jackson was not only a household name with box office hits such as ‘Patriot Games’ and ‘Jurassic Park,’ but he was ready for his career-defining role in ‘Pulp Fiction.’ The Academy Awards nominated actor continues to remain an A-lister with roles in iconic films like the ‘Star Wars’ prequels. This past Christmas, he made an outstanding albeit brief appearance in the Oscar-winning Django Unchained.
