In the December edition of Playboy Magazine, Samuel L. Jackson reveals he doesn't have anything against rappers--he just won't accept second billing to one of them in a movie. Jackson turned down a role in 50 Cent's 2005 film "Get Rich or Die Tryin" after 50's name was to be listed ahead of his:
"I have this thing about acting being a craft, something some of us spent time learning to do," Jackson tells Playboy magazine in its December issue. "When they ask me to validate the career of somebody who comes from another venue by co-starring in a film with him, the No. 1 insult is to say this other person is the actual star of the film."
I think Samuel L. forfeited the right to refer to acting as a "craft" when he took a role in a movie about a plane that is attacked by snakes.
Later in the interview, after revealing his favorite color to the interviewer, Jackson addressed the one question about himself that has caused me so many sleepless nights--who he'd love to trade places with for a day:
"I'd like to swap bodies with [Tiger Woods] for 18 holes, just to see what it's like to do anything I want with a golf ball whenever I feel like doing it."
If he really wants to see someone do "anything they want" with a golf ball, he should head down to Tijuana, Mexico. The "street workers" down there can do magical things with a Titleist. And don't even get me started on what they can do with a 9-iron. Let's just say it would make Jenna Jameson blush.












I've got to agree with Jackson when he's trying to bring some class to acting. He is a great actor. But then he goes and takes a job doing Snakes on a Plane!? Nah he's just in it for the money.
BTW, I'm booking my flight to Tijuana ;-)
Samuel L. Jackson has been in more movies than most actors out there. He has every right to turn down a role because he won't play second fiddle to a mediocre rapper who wants to showcase his "skillz" because he thinks he can. As for his role in Snakes on a Plane. Hey, the mans been in over 100 movies and TV shows in his career. He's bound to be in something the majority disagrees with.
