Why is Samuel L. Jackson in EVERY SINGLE MOVIE EVER??

[SexySamSosa67]

Ok, that's an exaggeration but why is he in so many damn films? Someone please tell him it's QUALITY over quantity.

[Michael24]

I don't mind. Sometimes he's the only thing that makes a movie even worth watching. (Kingsman, for example.) Maybe he's like Christopher Walken and just prefers to always be working.

[Astro Zombie]

Because it's his duty to please that booty.

[Monterey Jack]

It's just because he likes to keep working...it's probably not about the money at this point (I imagine he's very wealthy). Some actors are workaholics, that's all.

[Al_The_Strange]

The more movies he's in, the more people he can yell at.

[LuckyDragon]

I have 357 movies in my Blu-ray collection, and he's only managed to show up in three of them.

Shame, really. Casablanca really could have used him. "GET ON THE MUTHAF***IN' PLANE!"

[Elandyll]

I think he averages 3-6 movies a year, with wildly different screen times ...
He is just the kind of actor that won't shun small/ silly/ goofy roles, and that gives him more work.

Hardly "every movie ever" though.

[Mandalorian]

It's still an occupation. Good for him for staying busy, and more importantly, employed.

[Doctor Jack]

Because not everyone is a lazy bum. Some people like to work a lot. It's a crazy concept these days, but it happens.

[DanTheMan]

Crazy to think that out of the two co-stars in Die Hard with a Vengeance, SML is still the one doing more work in 2015 and at least putting in an effort with his projects, and not phoning them in.

He's said as much in interviews, when asked about it. He's reached the point where working keeps his mind occupied, instead of lazing around all day. He's worked very hard for many years to reach this point, so I'd say he deserves it.

The man is not in enough movies as far as I'm concerned.

He had a total of ten projects last year alone, including "The Winter Soldier" and his appearances on "Agents of SHIELD".

Agreed. He is my favorite person on earth and I want to see him in even more.

[AKORIS]

because he needed the money?

[Eternal Dreamer]

He said that he feels very lucky and happy to do what he does for a living, since it's his dream and he's also come very far in life and overcome some difficult things. So, he rarely turns down work. He loves working.

Christopher Walken also says that he pretty much never turns down a script as long as it fits into his schedule. He just loves working.

Also, Danny Trejo is pretty much the same. He joked around, saying that he's afraid that if he turns down work, he'll wake up back in prison and that his life as an actor will have been all a dream. What's also pretty cool of him is that he makes it a point to do at least a few very low budget and student films each year because he wants to help others get into the business because he feels fortunate that he was given a chance at the beginning of his career. He wants to pay it forward.

Yeah, because you know. Heaven forbid an actor work actually.

[slimdude]

He's working! It's like any other profession or occupation in the workforce. Samuel L. Jackson is paying his agent to get him work, and that's what he's been doing, whether if they are big Hollywood films or B movies. When you have financial responsibilities to fulfill and a family to support, you have to swallow your pride, put your ego aside and take what you can get... Work is work! There are a lot of big A-list actors and actresses who're beginning to star in B movies (even doing TV) because, B movies are less demanding and less stressful, compared to working in big budget Hollywood movies, with big name filmmakers all the time. I can imagine starring in A movies can get old after awhile, it's like (a been there done that) sort of thing and you get tired of it, then you want to branch out and try new areas in the business.

He's often reported to be worth at least $150 million, so I think ends are meeting for him very well. It's smart for him to keep working, though. Eventually, work will dry up even for the hottest, most popular actors. Make all you can while you can, to enjoy it in your later years.

Sam Jackson may be worth $150 million, but how much money is he paying out? It's not how much money a person is worth, it's what you do with it! There are many celebrities who are in serious debt and has filed for bankruptcy because they have over spent, invested in bad investments and trying to live above their means, including tax evasion. You'll be surprised at how many celebrities who doesn't pay their taxes, and thought they could get away with it. Just ask Wesley Snipes, Nicolas Cage and others. When you owe the Government a large sum of money, they will attach a lien on your property, seize everything you own and then you will be flat broke.
