10 Actors Who Have Become Parodies Of Themselves

3. Samuel L. Jackson

Known For: Playing loud, abrasive characters who like to say the word "motherf***er" a lot, spawned from his brilliant performance as Jules Winnfield in Quentin Tarantino's masterful Pulp Fiction. The Parody: Over the years, Jackson's popularity in this sort of role only increased, reaching its apex in 2006 with Snakes on a Plane, in which Internet clamourings for the film to be an R-rated spectacle caused New Line to comission five days of reshoots, including the addition of the now infamous line from Jackson; "I have had it with these motherf***ing snakes on this motherf***ing plane". Since then, Jackson has basked in these sorts of roles, playing up the salaciousness in Black Snake Moan, Lakeview Terrace, The Spirit and so on.
