Respectfully labeled as one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood, Jackson is an undisputed star as demonstrated in the fact that his films have grossed the most money in box office sales than any other actor in the history of film making.
The recipient of worldwide acclaim and notoriety, Jackson has been honored with a variety of awards from some of the most prestigious organizations. He won the Best Supporting Actor award by the Cannes Film Festival in 1991 for “Jungle Fever”, the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival in 1998 on behalf of “Jackie Brown,” he has received three Golden Globe nominations for “Pulp Fiction,” “A Time to Kill” and “Jackie Brown,” five NAACP Image Award nominations and one win in 2005 for his performance in “Coach Carter”, and most recently he has garnered two People’s Choice Award nominations in 2006 and 2007 for Favorite Male Actor.
Jackson made an indelible mark on American cinema with his portrayal of ‘Jules’, the philosophizing hitman, in Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction.” In addition to unanimous critical acclaim for his performance, he received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations as Best Supporting Actor as well as a Best Supporting Actor award from the British Academy of Film and Television Arts.
