Samuel L. Jackson

Samuel L. Jackson found out Jonah Hill has cursed more times in movies than he has, and Jackson says "that's some bullshit!"

Buzz Bingo surveyed over 3,500 film scripts and reported that Hill had used 376 swear words throughout his filmography, with the majority of curse words split between “Superbad” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.” DiCaprio had 361 curse words, followed by Jackson with 301 curse words. “That’s some bullshit!” Jackson said with a laugh when finding out he didn’t hold the record. Samuel L. Jackson found out on “The Tonight Show” (via Uproxx) this week that he does not hold the record for most curse words said by an actor on screen.

JACKSON Walter is a very feet-on-the-ground kind of guy that understands and knows his characters and knows the environment that those characters are in. All of a sudden, boom, there’s “Roots,” and you go, “[expletive], that’s the way to tell the story.” OK.” He’s also an executive producer, and his commitment to the book and getting it made is why we got it made. MOSLEY Television has the potential to do some amazing things that are good for drama, good for actors, and good for an audience to be able to understand and identify with characters who have real arcs of change. JACKSON There’s a great satisfaction for me to have a character development that allows an audience to go back and say, “OK, that’s where he started. We’re coming up on our final season of “Snowfall,” and we’re going to get to see how things are going to work out or fall apart. He’s this mythical character that Walter created who has a real-life problem at the beginning, but Walter allows us to circle back and see a life well lived. That was what the book meant to me, to be able to do that. It’s a great thing to have Sam taking it on and bringing it to a neighborhood that other people don’t seem to think about very much. During a freewheeling video interview — Jackson was in London (where he’s filming the Marvel mini-series “Secret Invasion”), Mosley in Los Angeles — they discussed the fairy tale quality of “Ptolemy,” why television was the best option for the project, and how the story jumped across the country from Los Angeles to Atlanta, among other subjects. This is a destination that either we reach ourselves in our own experience, or with people that we know and love and live with, as far as aging, dementia and death. As these figures come and go from his mind, Ptolemy also takes it upon himself to solve the murder of a beloved nephew (Omar Benson Miller), a task appropriate to Mosley’s bread-and-butter turf of crime fiction.

One carries on the lightly fantastical feel of Ptolemy’s agreement, sending him looking for the “treasure to save all the Black people” that Coydog entrusted to him decades ago. If Ptolemy is a man defined by who he once was, so is Jackson, for an audience that’s spent the past few decades watching him age and evolve onscreen. Having established the intimate interiors of Ptolemy’s life, Last Days adds in a touch of the mythic around the second episode when Dr. Rubin (Walton Goggins) presents his offer. Past and present blur together: Ptolemy hears Coydog, the man who raised him, whispering in his ear in the present, or sees his late wife Sensia (Cynthia Kaye McWilliams) in the face of a passing stranger in the street. Fishback brings to Robyn the quiet magnetism that made her such a standout in Judas and the Black Messiah, and Mosley and Jerome Hairston’s scripts write her a life that extends beyond Ptolemy, even looping in a kindly love interest at one point. It’s potentially rich territory for all manner of stories, from the intimate to the epic, and creator Walter Mosley (who also wrote the book upon which the six-episode miniseries is based) plucks a few different threads to weave together.

(To be fair, Amblin Television announced last year a series based on Mosley's popular Easy Rawlins detective novels, the 15th of which was released last month.) ...

Given the latitude and opportunity, Mosley has an excellent television show inside him, and if the best parts of “Ptolemy” are any indication, it’ll be impossible to forget. But there’s a rapturous quality to “Ptolemy” that more than compensates for the growing pains of adaptation. Apple TV’s new limited series, “ The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey,” feels every bit as overdue as the justice and redemption sought by its nonagenarian protagonist. Their chemistry is so potent that it’s always in the foreground of “Ptolemy,” to the extent that Ptolemy and Robyn’s unorthodox relationship crowds out the plot elements most responsible for propelling the story. Jackson and Fishback are so charming together that any scene that doesn’t combine their forces — even the scenes most consequential to the rigidly structured story — feels like idle time. But with Jackson’s performance, among the best of his storied career, there’s little need for visual innovation.

Samuel L. Jackson is an immensely popular actor known for his monologues, witty banter, and aversion to mixing serpentine reptiles and aeronautics.

So it seems though that even though it irked him he didn't win for "Pulp Fiction," it doesn't bother him much because an award is just an award, and that doesn't reflect one's worth when it comes to appearing and making money in movies. Jackson has played a powerful Jedi Master, an assassin who has a crisis of faith, a father who wants justice for his victimized daughter, a second-in-command to a vicious slave owner, and a computer programmer who has had enough of "hacker" crap. Samuel L. Jackson is an immensely popular actor known for his monologues, witty banter, and aversion to mixing serpentine reptiles and aeronautics.

To be fair, Superbad and The Wolf of Wall Street alone probably launched Hill to the top. Maybe if Kevin Feige let Nick Fury run his mouth a little bit from time to time—I think the Avengers would benefit from Fury calling them out on their sh*t from time to time—he’d take the cake. (Superbad alone has 219 instances of f***, which pales in comparison to The Wolf of Wall Street‘s whopping 569.) DiCaprio probably got The Wolf of Wall Street bump as well. And that’s not to mention the dozens of films he’s popped up in across all genres. There are a few unkind words—language your mom doesn’t want in the house—that don’t quite reach the official swear threshold. And to our befuddlement, Jackson only ranks third.

Samuel L. Jackson appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" and reacted to coming third on a list of the most swear words spoken by movie stars.

“And it’s a shared good time. “Movies are movies,” the actor said. When we were younger, people went to see cowboy movies, and they went to see superhero movies of another ilk.

On the latest episode of the "Tonight Show," the actor called "bullshit" on a ranking of who swore the most on screen that placed him behind Jonah Hill and ...

Jackson and Fallon went on to contemplate the criteria the researchers must have used to get their final "fuck" tally and whether or not that included certain qualifiers or variations on the swear word factored into the count. “And then Leo. Jonah Hill, then Leo. I don’t believe that. However, as far as Jackson is concerned, “that’s some bullshit."

Samuel L. Jackson says 'somebody has miscounted' when informed Jonah Hill holds the record for most curse words uttered in movie history.

Indeed Hill in 2020 shouted out Scorsese for helping him snag the all-time cursing record away from Jackson, saying on Instagram "So many people to thank. However, it seems this distinction may not belong to Jackson either, as a 2020 study by Buzz Bingo claimed Superbad’s Hill actually holds the record with 376 curses uttered to Jackson’s 301, with Leonardo DiCaprio also besting Jackson at 361 curses. ). Rather than shy away from his reputation for swearing a lot in movies, Jackson has embraced the distinction of being film history’s most prolific curser.

Samuel L. Jackson discusses his 10 year journey to make "The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey" and his connection to Alzheimer's disease in his family.

"It's an honest and, hopefully, endearing assessment of the deterioration of life that a lot of us face." Jackson said he hopes to continue to work into his 90s. Then when I get off, I talk to my agent on the phone about things that I need to do later on." "You are still a worthwhile individual, even though a lot of people discard you," Jackson said. "When we were trying to deal with other people to get it made, they wanted to make it as an hour-and-a-half-long movie, which was impossible," Jackson said. "It's not a real thing."

Poignant, vulnerable, unsparing: the actor's portrayal of a man with dementia in this new drama is clearly a passion project – and it carries the show.

He executive produces and has had the rights to the Walter Mosley book the series is based on for nearly a decade. Jackson’s portrayal of a man whose life is fading away from him is one of two reasons to stick with The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey. The other is Ptolemy’s growing relationship with his niece’s best friend’s daughter Robyn (on a good day he remembers all of this), who gradually comes to take Reggie’s place. It is a rounded and unsparing portrait of dementia and to see the 73-year-old actor offer up such a vulnerable performance after a career largely built on dazzling us with the opposite adds a poignancy all of its own.

"It's easy for them to dismiss it, only because people aren't going to see their movies," Jackson said.

“Those are the movies that I went to see when I was a kid. “It’s like we’ve been dumbed down, but that’s always been the case,” he continued. Samuel L. Jackson is more than happy to be part of superhero movies and series, even if some filmmakers consider them “not cinema” or too sexless.

This new golden age of television has one major benefit: rather than seeing our favourite big-screen actors for one action sequence, a fleeting wink and a ...

It is just about the only aspect of Ptolemy Grey that feels unsatisfactory. At first it is Robyn with the steely resolve, and Ptolemy who is meek and unsure. Walter Mosley wrote the novel The Last Days Of Ptolemy Grey in 2010.

Jackson told Jimmy Fallon that the crew put a reference to his iconic wallet from the Quentin Tarantino movie on the button of the prop.

It's already caused a shitstorm online.' And he had the purple lightsaber, and I was like, 'Yeah!'" His character, Mace Windu, stood out in the trilogy because he was the first and only Jedi to have a purple lightsaber. I'm like the second-baddest Jedi in the universe next to Yoda.' He's like, 'Let me think about it.'" "I said to George, 'You think maybe I can get a purple lightsaber?'" Jackson said. When the shoot was over, when they presented it to me, it had 'BMF' on the on-off button." "I have the real one at home that says 'bad motherfucker' right here," he said while holding a toy replica of his character's famous purple lightsaber.
