Legendary actor. He loves film, loves the art. Perfect guy to appear in multiple Tarantino films. He will not say no but he will always take it a step further.
I was just thinking how they do the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon and it really should be the 6 degrees of Samuel Jackson. I'm sure you could make it 2 degrees. He's either worked with everyone in the industry or is one or two hops away!
I love how he just says 'I want to be in this movie' ... They let him do it and he totally crushes it. What outstanding confidence...and he delivers every time.
This is so hilarious 😂😂😂😂 I love how Samuel was like “nah call it snakes in a plane or I’m leaving” 😂😂😂and wow I didn’t realize how many movies Tarantino and Samuel worked together in
I always wondered if he was always aware of just how ridiculous that movie was or if he actually took it seriously while making it. Turns out the answer was both 😂
Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Clint Eastwood, Gary Oldman, Christian Bale, Robin Williams...
I love slj repeat of it. Like it’s a sales pitch or something. Like Travolta just wants to be done with the job, but Jackson loves that part of the job.
The editing in this one flowed so well!! Love all the little jokes 😆 We need a PART 2 and PART 3!! Everyone like this comment so they see it and bring us some COACH CARTER! And FROZONE! And AFRO SAMURAI! And who else? Add a missing SLJ masterpiece here, this is our list of demands
I bet you would love getting all those likes wouldn’t you. Getting likes on TH-cam is for changing!!! I bet Samuel L Jackson is reading your comment now with Quentin Tarantino and Leonardo DiCaprio!!!
So many actors say they only do the movies that they want to do. He is the only actor that I actually believe does movies purely based on what he liked as a kid. He is great
Ya, I saw it late night on cable in the 90s around when it came out. It's a lot better movie than I expected it to to be and I've only recently seen people talk about it with regard. It felt like it went ignored for a long long time.
Yes Yes Yes! I Just watched it for the first time last week & I swear I’ve watched it about 5 or 6 times since then… 3 times the first day! One of the best movies I’ve ever watched.
This is great. One of the greatest actors of all time. He’s been in so many cult classics, to modern time gems. Crossed so many universes, and so many timelines. He’s one of one. I give you, Samuel L. Jackson.
Sam's got so many great movies where he really shows his acting chops, Black Snake Moan, Kingsman, The Negotiator, Unbreakable & GLASS!...the list goes on and on, it would weeks to complete a Samuel L. Jackson movie Marathon.
Samuel L Jackson is one of my favorite actors of all time, I've never seen a role of his I didn't like and he's almost always my favorite character in any movie he's in
I'm really glad I watched this, to see Samuel L Jackson in his own words, is nothing short of great, he is one person I would love to meet, given his acting career.
I always wondered if Samuel L Jackson was always aware of just how ridiculous Snakes on a Plane was or if he actually took it seriously while making it. Turns out the answer was both 😂
I respect Quentin being conscious of how his movie could impact the actors lives , even if just for not wanting to feel responsible for anything bad that could come.
Honestly you’d need like 2 or 3 separate videos for Samuel L Jackson to break down his most iconic roles cause he’s had so many lol. What a freakin’ legend. 🙌
I love hearing him being challenged to change how he plays a certain character and open his mind to new experiences despite how long and storied his career is. That’s beautiful.
Sam, the way you explained how you approached different characters is truly I think the way everyone should approach life and it's challenges. You're the best🎉
First took note of him in Pulp Fiction, of course, but it was Long Kiss Goodnight that cemented my impression of him. Always love how he delivers the goods.
"Noooooo Calvin." feels like out of characters for Samuel Jackson but he did that perfectly. Quentin's writing + legendary actor's acting is just a masterpiece.
Obviously, they couldn't cover everything this legend has done, but I would have loved to see him talk about his roles in Unbreakable, Black Snake Moan, Jungle Fever and Kingsmen.
"People keep quoting things to me, and I don't know if it's me or the writing" so humble, but it's 100% Samuel L Jackson. His delivery makes so many lines. Films like Snakes on a Plane would have never stood a chance without him delivering his lines the way he does.
@@migueljames6264Given that Inside Out 2 made $1.6 billion and Despicable Me 4 made $950 million in 2024. Also, Incredibles 2 is the biggest opening for an animated movie. That statement is 100% false
I am only ten years older than Mr Jackson and I have loved and respected him since forever. Definitely my very favorite actor of all time. I wish all the very best of health and happiness to you all and to your families!
The fact that he has MULTIPLE instances of just saying he wants to be in a movie and they could NOT turn that opportunity down, is DOPE.
he loves movies
And on at least two occasions he proceeded to say he wouldn’t do a movie he wanted to be in unless they changed something about it.
That's a power move
Legendary actor. He loves film, loves the art. Perfect guy to appear in multiple Tarantino films. He will not say no but he will always take it a step further.
I mean yeah my mans was/is an ICON 😎
The fact SLJ is still eager to play Mace Windu is so cool
I really think he should have been the main villain of the new trilogy
How many people get to say they were a mother flipping Jedi Master?! Of course he loved it. He even talked Lucas into giving Mace a purple saber
@@GlassGhost428he’s the reason I always choose a purple saber in Jedi survivor
Even if I hear so many bad things about george lucas all the ppl who worked on the star wars sets seemed to have a blast
He would get paid MILLIONS of dollars to reprise any role, why wouldn't he be eager.
Sam geeking out over being a Jedi so awesome😂
Preaching for more too 👏🏽👏🏽 Jackson got that Kobe mentality with acting✊🏽 Speak it into existence king 👏🏽
I wonder if he and Ewan got together on set between takes. Must've been Xmas x 1,000
Isn't it
He is all of us. I cracked up over his reaction to getting a light sabre.
Star Wars used to be so special
Samuel L Jackson has so many iconic roles that it will take hours to go over all of them. The guy is a living legend.🔥🔥🔥

I recall someone said they should do Snakes On a Train, and Sam said he'd do it 😂😂
The guy invites himself into making the movie, then convince the director into spending millions to add "MFs"here and there 😂 A true legend.

….. you better believe it
One of the most genuine and interesting commentaries I've seen on the channel. Huge, huge fan.
Legend. No doubt.
Mr. Jackson One Word: Marvelous
@@MrBeautiful2908two words: The Marvels
Probabaly actually the most legendary and prolific actor in cinema
He barely aged when compared to all those movies that came out in 90 😭
The fact that he’s 75 is mental!! If you told me he was 50 I’d believe you
And he was in his 40's back then
I'm 40 and I find it hard to believe he's older than me
It’s crazyyy
Yeah seriously still Red
0:28 Travolta’a delivery of “Royale with cheese” always makes me laugh

his entire discussion of The Piano Lesson is so in depth and personal, I'm totally in awe
SO much gold in this episode! Wow! What an interview!
The highest paying actor reduced to a 30-minute clip! They need an hour documentary on Samuel L Jackson 😅
Hes too busy too be caught up with an interview for longer, they likely payed for 30 minutes oftime
@@SwiftTheMyth Do you think these channels hire these actors and pay for this time? Dude, do you not know what a press tour is?
Yes only 30 minutes!!! Free??? Despicable!!! We are entitled to at least 5 more free hours!!!
If we're going the documentary route we need a six part series minimum.
Dude it’s like that for everyone that comes on gq
I could listen to him explain every single movie he’s ever been in and still not have it be enough.
'and at the time, yoda was still a puppet!' idk why but i love that
Samuel as Jules Winnfield is one of my all time favorite characters. The scene with he & Travolta in the bathroom is so hilarious 😂.
So many actors say they only do the movies that they want to do. He is the only actor that I actually believe does movies purely based on what he liked as a kid. He is great
The Long Kiss Goodnight absolutely totally needed a sequel. Geena Davis was badass. I’m gutted that it’ll never happen

I love the fact that the director said you want to be in the movie. You have it😂
17:56 Samuel/Nick calling the Avengers "the kids" is so wholesome and accurate 😂🥲
GQ is cooking with these iconic characters vids as of late.
Was expecting coach carter to be here ngl
His performance in The Negotiator is severely underrated
Yes Yes Yes! I Just watched it for the first time last week & I swear I’ve watched it about 5 or 6 times since then… 3 times the first day! One of the best movies I’ve ever watched.
Samuel has made countless movies, they need to do a part 2 of this!
Only SLJ can make George Lucas to change the color of the light saber purple and tell Quentin to rewrite something.
and because of that we now have the this huge lore revolving around the symbolism of jedi who wield purple lightsabers. its freaking great.
@@divinewicked6510star wars lore is very adaptable in that way which is one of the best parts about it
He's a bad mf!
This is great. One of the greatest actors of all time. He’s been in so many cult classics, to modern time gems. Crossed so many universes, and so many timelines. He’s one of one. I give you, Samuel L. Jackson.
His performance in Django is nothing short of sublime. He should have been nominated and won the Oscar for it.
4:56 I love his geek out for Star Wars
This should have been a 3 hour long video it's so many more movies I wanted him to talk about
Sam's got so many great movies where he really shows his acting chops, Black Snake Moan, Kingsman, The Negotiator, Unbreakable & GLASS!...the list goes on and on, it would weeks to complete a Samuel L. Jackson movie Marathon.
I loved his role in The Hateful Eight
My favorite
He was better in Pulp Fiction and Django
@@zackyyyy007casual take
Wow... Dude was so violent in his acting that he even scared Tarantino himself 🤣🔥 legend
It's amazing seeing Samuel L. Jackson geek out about getting a light saber.
Samuel L Jackson is one of my favorite actors of all time, I've never seen a role of his I didn't like and he's almost always my favorite character in any movie he's in
The Long Kiss Goodnight is very, very underrated.
LOVED that movie and I will never understand what everybody else's problem is with it.
It’s not underrated
I don’t think it’s underrated at all. It was a blockbuster action film when it was released and it’s still appreciated. 😊
This video obviously needs to be over an hour longer than everyone else’s.
I was hoping he would bring up his small role in Juice, definitely need an extension of this
Every character he played is iconic. He is so incredible ❤️❤️
I'm really glad I watched this, to see Samuel L Jackson in his own words, is nothing short of great, he is one person I would love to meet, given his acting career.
I think a part 2 is necessary with this one!
Samuel L Jackson could talk about filing taxes and make it entertaining
Say audit...say audit one more time mother F!!!....😂😂😂
I've had it with these snakes on this comment section
I always wondered if Samuel L Jackson was always aware of just how ridiculous Snakes on a Plane was or if he actually took it seriously while making it. Turns out the answer was both 😂
That’s because SLJ is a serious actor who doesn’t take himself too seriously.
It seems like he was the only person that truly got it . The movie should have been even more ridiculous lol
Pretty boss he sees the title and is like "ok, I got to be part of that", so unexpected, especially with his resume.
This is incredible.but we need a part 2 for Deep Blue Sea, Negotiator, Shaft & Coach Carter!
The Negotiator is slept on! I've been watching it since I was little. Samuel L always been that dude for me

There are certainly enough iconic roles :)
10:26 I'd love to see that Django directors cut.
I respect Quentin being conscious of how his movie could impact the actors lives , even if just for not wanting to feel responsible for anything bad that could come.
I think it's so telling how many parts he got just by being bold enough to just ask the director/producer for it directly
We need a Part 2 with Frozone.
I know! I’m surprised that’s not on here!

No Unbreakable? Mr Glass is one of his most iconic roles imo

Definitely more iconic than Fight Night with Kevin Heart lol
I agree! I think it’s one of the best Sam Jackson performances!!
Not really 5:02
@jkong00 it's his new release, the exact reason this video exists at all
