No one has appeared in more prominent films this year than Samuel L. Jackson, who is always looked upon as the 'Hardest Working Actor' in the business. In 2008, Jackson appeared in 6 films on the big screen, and in one that went straight to DVD.
This year alone, Jackson appeared in 'Jumper' with Hayden Christensen, a cameo in 'Iron Man' as Nick Fury, reprising his role as Mace Windu in the animated film 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars', and playing the menacing cop opposite Kerry Washington in 'Lakeview Terrace'.
While he was seen on the big screen, Jackson also starred with Eva Mendes and Ed Harris in the little seen straight-to-DVD film 'Cleaner', and to round out the year, he was back on the big screen with the late Bernie Mac in 'Soul Men', and with Scarlett Johansson in 'The Spirit'.

That would be Nick Fury y'all, not Nick Frost. I love Samuel L. Jackson though, good article.

I'd like inform you that Scarlett Johansson (actress)actually is a clone from original person,who has nothing with acting career.Clone was created illegally using stolen biomaterial.Original Scarlett Galabekian last name is nice, CHRISTIAN young lady.I'll tell more,those clones(it's not only 1)made in GERMANY-world leader manufacturer of humans clones,it's in Ludwigshafen am Rhein,Rhineland-Palatinate,Mr.Helmut Kohl home town.You can't even imaging the scale of the cloning activity.But warning,H.Kohl staff strictly controlling their clones spreading around the world,they're NAZI type disciplined and mind controlled,be careful get close with clones you will be controlled too.Original family didn't authorize any activity with stolen biomaterials,no matter what form it was created in,it's all need to be back to original family control in Cedars-Sinai MedicalCenter in LA.Controlling clones is US military operation.Original Scarlett never was engaged,by the way

Sam Jackson IS the hardest working actor. And he brings every role he does to life. That's what a true actor does-loses you in the character, forget who the actor is. The other night "Jurassic Park" was on and I smiled. Sam's come along way since those T-rex wrecked havoc. That's a good thing--for us!

Acting must be his new crack because it seems that he will play anyone and anything for money. I read a bio about him that stated how radical he was in his youth during the Civil Rights Movement. There are so many untold stories about AA culture that can be brought to the silver screen besides a movie about BIG. Isn't Sam Jackson veteran enough to have some juice in the industry or is he just spending his time wearing Kangols around the golf course reading another Tarantino script where he will get to say Mother!@#$%^ and Ni##er!
