When you're a hard-working actor who grosses phenomenal amounts at the global box office, you deserve your down-time. Hell, if you're making everyone else that much money just by turning up, they should probably PAY YOU for the privilege of you relaxing on set, to be perfectly honest.

And that's exactly what SamUel L Jackson insists on, apparently, as well as making it very clear that he's in charge when he's on a film set. Like anyone is going to argue.

He spoke to the New York Times to confirm that he's contractually obligated to play golf twice a week while filming and that he just won't do extra takes

"I can be a hard taskmaster for some directors. I’m at that point where I can say: ‘Uh, you know, that’s not going to be in the movie, right? We already got it, we got it when we did this, that and that. I’m not going to do that.’"

Nice work if you can get it.
