Him and Morgan Freeman. Good God if there’s a black role somehow it has to go to Morgan fricking Freeman like there are no other black actors that could do it.
Then there's his political babble.
I just watched Ted 2 with my brother, some funny parts, not a great movie. In it, Ted and Mark Wahlberg’s character are talking to a woman who introduces herself as Samantha Jackson, and has no idea who Samuel L. Jackson is:
Samantha: I’m Samantha Jackson. You must be Ted.
Ted: Uh, yeah, Samantha Jackson, what’s your middle name?
Samantha: Leslie
Ted: Oh my god, you’re Sam L. Jackson!
John: That’s great, I mean, just like Sam L. Jackson!
Samantha: Who is that?
Ted: You ever seen any movie ever? He’s the black guy.
