Samuel L. Jackson, the activist who became the highest-grossing actor in history
If you hear “And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee,” you would probably think of Jules Winnfield, the fast-talking hitman from Pulp Fiction, rather than the biblical prophet Ezekiel. The former was the character that put Samuel L. Jackson on the map, no less than the highest-grossing actor in the history of Hollywood thanks to a career that mixes blockbusters and auteur cinema. Jackson has managed to combine his time in the mammoth franchises of Star Wars and Marvel with his work with prestigious directors such as Milos Forman, Martin Scorsese, Steven Soderbergh or Paul Thomas Anderson and, of course, Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee, the filmmakers who have marked his career.

When Samuel L. Jackson walks into the house to greet us, on a bright and hazy March morning in the Hollywood Hills, it’s clear he’s another beast entirely — part alpha lion, part Top Cat; light and heavy at once, padding around at his own pace and to his own rhythm; King of the Jungle, but, hey, there’s room for you too.
The first thing that strikes me is how young Jackson looks. The man turns 72 this year, but he could pass for 45. (This really comes home for me when I consider that he is one year older than my father, and, no offence to my father, but very few people have called him up recently and asked him to play Shaft.
