Samuel L. Jackson is one of the most prolific actors in Hollywood: his films have grossed more than those of any other actor in history. The star of Oscar-winners (Pulp Fiction), mainstream blockbusters (Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith) and cult hits (Snakes on a Plane) is currently juggling a handful of features in different stages of production. His newest movie, Soul Men, co-starring the late Isaac Hayes and Bernie Mac, releases Nov. 7.
