Samuel L. Jackson was born on December 21, 1948 in Washington, D.C., but spent his childhood in Tennessee. Due to the fact that his father left the family, his mother and grandmother were engaged in the upbringing of the actor. Samuel was a diligent student, so he managed to enter Morehouse College in the faculty of architecture. Struggling with stuttering, he visited a doctor and also took music lessons. The teacher noticed the young talent, so soon he was transferred to the faculty of drama. The family did not believe that Jackson could become an actor. Nevertheless, his participation in fast food advertising brought the first earnings and trust of loved ones.

Jackson learned early what it was like to be black when white gentlemen were in charge. Due to his participation in the demonstration in support of Luther King, he was expelled from Morehouse, so he graduated in 1972. This was followed by a move to New York and a career in film and stage. A significant event in the life of Samuel was the acquaintance with Jungle Fever which brought him the award of the Cannes Festival. As a result, only 19 years after starting his career, he was able to stand out. His films followed each other. It's Patriot Games, Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction" The Long Kiss of the Night, The Negotiator and many others. But despite his popularity, Jackson is not particularly keen on superstardom, preferring to spend time with his wife and daughter.
