Jackson is an actor who has somehow become a parody of himself over the last few years, and yet - for some unexplained reason - it's still not considered to be a bad thing. When it comes to Hollywood, Jackson is often seen to be the epitome of cool - an actor who knows what he is, talks straight, is professional and courteous to fans and movie moguls alike, and always draws in the crowds. In a lot of ways, he's the perfect star. And he dies a lot, too. There was a time when you couldn't kill off Sam Jackson quite as easily as you seem to be able to now, in the aftermath of his
Pulp Fiction fame. But ever since filmmakers blew audiences out of the water with Jackson's insanely surprising shark-based death in
Deep Blue Sea, it's been anything goes. Since then, we've seen Jackson shot, exploded, de-limbed and thrown out of a window, and - more recently - blown to smithereens with lots and lots of dynamite.
