Whether it was Pulp Fiction or Snakes on a Plane, he showed up for his work. Before becoming the legend everyone quoted, Jackson built his resume with films like Coming to America, Goodfellas, and Patriot Games. His big break exploded with Pulp Fiction in 1994. As Jules Winnfield, he delivered Bible verses with gun... [ more ]
