You'll Never Believe How These Legendary Actors Got Discovered

Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel L. Jackson is by far one of the world's most famous and important actors. His work in Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained won him massive accolades and will go down in history as two of the most memorable performances in the cinematic timeline. 

Humble Beginnings

Jackson was 45 years old when he was picked up to play Jules in Pulp Fiction. He was just a friend of Tarantino's at the time, and John Travolta was not particularly fond of him because he was inexperienced. Tarintino saw something in Jackson that others didn't. Since then, he has become one of the highest-paid and most prolific actors of all time.
