3. Samuel L. Jackson
It's hard to muster that Samuel L. Jackson, perhaps the coolest man who has ever lived, is now 65-years-old. He still has the same voice that he had when he was breaking through in Hollywood in his 30s and 40s. His voice can run a mile per minute yet still make sure that every single word is crisp and clean without lacking any sass. It's a voice so engulfing that even a conversation about what a Big Mac is called in France is the most interesting thing you will hear all week. Samuel L. Jackson's entire career is full of indestructible one-liners that can be imitated by no-one. When we try and scream "Get these mother******* snakes off this mother******* plane!" we sound like the biggest nerds in the world. A line such as that is written solely for Jackson. Nobody else would be able to shout it whilst keeping a straight face and still be awesome enough to have a credible career afterwards. Any film fan's bucket list should include 'to be insulted by Samuel L. Jackson'. He's the coolest cat alive to the point that you'd want to shake his hand even though he's just offended you and your entire family. He may not be the top of this list but he's certainly the coolest to feature.
