Happy 65th birthday to Samuel Jackson!
Samuel Jackson is one of Hollywood’s most respected black actors and has been in the game since 1972. The Morehouse College graduate initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but after joining a local acting group to earn extra credit points for a class, Jackson found an interest in acting, switched his major and co-founded the “Just Us Theatre” in Atlanta. Jackson has since appeared in over 100 films and is one of the highest-grossing actors at the box office.
Jackson plays a powerful media mogul in the upcoming 2014 remake of RoboCop, and reprises roles as Fury in the 2014 film Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the 2015 film Avengers: Age of Ultron. Let’s take a moment to remember Jackson in some of his most memorable roles as he celebrates his big day.
