    I love that he's been with the same woman for 52 years, through thick and thin. I usually think of him as inspiring as an actor, but really, this is the accomplishment of a lifetime, for both of them. It's nice to see something so positive, so resilient and enduring, in a world that seems so dark and fragile these days.

      ​@@vb8428 ......He isn't "just a celeb." He's a fricken astronaut (or the equivalent of one), and its ok to celebrate that. This doesn't mean he doesn't have flaws or make mistakes, and it doesn't mean other people do not do great things with their lives. However, few achieve this across multiple areas of their lives across the entire span of their lives. We live in such negative times, with a seeming avalanche of (complete flaming dumpster fires of human beings), its nice to hold up and laude when a fellow human achieves greatness. It's pretty rare.

Plus he is a Vampyre...he and Angela Basset...these star never age or decrease in energy levels. Really...there are people in the Industry that are half their age and look like week old fruit.

    It's probably just me but listen to Samuel in the interview it's like any of us could walk up to him and he would graciously greet us. I'm sure that's accurate if it was a crowd of one or two.

      I'm on a message board where one evening there was a "getting to know you (members)" posting where one revealed she previously worked at a Hollywood management firm. This led to her posting an AMA. She didn't spill too much tea, but among their clients, I remember her saying Samuel was charm central and he *never* forgot a birthday. There was always a custom flower delivery with a note to whichever staffer was celebrating one.
      One could argue that he had a personal assistant making arrangements, but that person would have to be given a designated list & SLJ would be the source for any changes on such a personal gesture.

    It has to be so cool to return to Broadway after a successful Hollywood career. Going back to your roots, but instead of struggling and fighting to keep a roof above your head or fighting for meals, you can live in luxury and do the play for basically nothing and just enjoy the experience.
    I'll bet as an actor there isn't much of a better feeling. Yes SLJ can probably buy anything he wants, but experiences like that have to take the cake.

    I'm in love with Sam Jackson. I have worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood but not him. He is an excellent actor. Someday Playah. I'm back.
