Samuel L. Jackson is an American actor born in Washington, D.C. on December 21st, 1948. With more than one-hundred credited film roles, Jackson has become one of the most popular and sought after character actors of his generation. He is known for playing boisterous, acerbic characters whose dialogue generally consists of wisecracks peppered with a string of profane outburts. His first role in a horror film was playing the part of a blind dream man in William Peter Blatty's 1990 film The Exorcist III. He appeared next as computer programmer Ray Arnold in Steven Spielberg's 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park then as corporate watchdog Russell Franklin in another killer-animal tale, Deep Blue Sea. After having a hard way to go with both dinosaurs and sharks, Samuel L. Jackson struck back as Federal Marshall Neville Flynn when he had to fight up against a horde of vicious snakes in the schlocky 2006 suprise hit Snakes on a Plane. Jackson later played hotel manager Gerald Olin in the 2007 adaptatation of the Stephen King short story 1408.
