While many of his roles are blatantly racist it is unclear as to whether the actor himself is racially biased. The common thread woven throughout his racially driven roles seems to be the removal of racism through the cooperation of the white and black races. See "Amos and Andrew" and "Die Hard With A Vengeance" for prime examples. While Jackson does do promos for black charities, etc. this is no different than a Jewish actor trying to help the Jewish community or a Greek actor promoting Greek charities. In the end his racial stance is immaterial as he gets paid to act. If you enjoy his work then go see his movies. If you don't then don't.
Leroy is the "L" in Samuel Jackson's name. Samuel Leroy Jackson is his full name.
I'm guessing you are thinking of Clarence Williams, who was in a few T J Hooker episodes.
they both have the same last name. Other than that, nothing.
The Star Wars Episodes I, II, and III all have Samuel Jackson. I also highly recommend Unbreakable. He's been in many more, but I'm afraid this is as far as I can help you.
Yes. The actor Samuel L. Jackson does appear in the film called Magic Sticks.
He plays the role of "Bum" in the film.
Magic Sticks was released in the year 1987.
It was directed by Peter Keglevic.
YES, he is Micheal Jackson's brother. Samual L Jackson is Jackson 5.
he hasn't got a scar that is just in the xXx films.
I have been looking and looking for this. It is strange how this information seems so hard to find. I saw that he made over 5 million for Red Violin which is considered an Indy film and therefore low-budget. So now, after his "blockbusters" SW trilogy, other seemingly every comic book movie he's in, plus he's been "academy-award nominated", so for a major picture like the new Iron Man I think he's asking for 20 mil- but who knows just a random guess. There could be whole other backend negotiations involved. Would love to know what he was asking for and Marvels counter though. Negotiations are still "active" according to Marvel (as of 1/14/09) and Jackson is simply blowing up to get huge cyber support so Marvel is forced to pay him. It's probably also a multi-picture deal or at least being conceived that way by Marvel considering the futer Avengers/Ultimates movie and other cross tie-ins with Hulk, Cap, Thor, etc..

According to the Guiness World Records he's made 7.42 billion in the span of his career and he continues to get offers for more movies. That's more than any other actor hence the reason he's in the World Record book... How ever much it is I'm sure its more than 100 million.
As reported at Sheknows September 26, 2013, the actor says any role that requires the actor to cross-dress, and kiss a male co-star is just not going to happen, citing concern his fans wouldn't respond positively.
The first two I have listed are "School Daze" and "Coming To America" both 1988.
