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.


Among his many award-winning performances, Jackson made movie history with his portrayal of a crack addict in Spike Lee’s “Jungle Fever” when he was awarded the first and only Best Supporting Performance Award ever given by the judges at the Cannes Film Festival.

Jackson was most recently seen in “Iron Man” in a surprise cameo appearance and in the Doug Liman directed sci-fi, action film, “Jumper.” Late 2007, Jackson had a starring role in the acclaimed drama “Resurrecting the Champ,” and a supporting role in the very successful horror film for the Weinstein Co. “1408” based on the Stephen King novel. Earlier this year, Jackson starred in the Craig Brewer film “Black Snake Moan,” and Irwin Winkler’s MGM war drama “Home of the Brave.”

This Fall, Jackson’s films will include the Neil LaBute thriller “Lakeview Terrace,” followed by the Dimension Studios comedy “Soul Men” and then on Christmas, Jackson stars in the Frank Miller action drama “The Spirit”, where he portrays the nemesis, “Octopus.”

Other film credits include “Cleaner,” “Snakes on a Plane,” “Coach Carter,” “Star Wars” trilogy, “In My Country,” “The Man,” “The Incredibles,” “S.W.A.T.,” “Formula 51,” “Changing Lanes,” “Caveman’s Valentine,” “Red Violin,” “Shaft,” “Unbreakable,” “187,” “Eve’s Bayou,” “Jackie Brown,” “The Negotiator,” “A Time To Kill,” “Die Hard with a Vengeance”, “The Long Kiss Goodnight” and “Deep Blue Sea.”

On the small screen, Jackson serves as Executive Producer for the animated series for Spike TV, “Afro Samurai” which premiered in 2007 and will be returning for a second season in January 2009. He also just secured a first look television deal with CBS and their properties to produce and develop upcoming projects. In addition, Jackson has a production deal with New Line Studios to produce and develop projects in which he has the option of starring. His first film project for the studio, in which Jackson will produce and star, is called “Man That Rocks the Cradle.”
