I'm not saying that Sam J. Jones was Flash Gordon - there's no such thing. No actor can be the person, that's a bunch of crap. People pay to see an actor be himself, whether he plays Hamlet or whatever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I'm the only actor in the history of film who got to slap Sam Jackson on the face and butt and lived to tell about it.
I used to believe that George Michael was a total actor. It was self-defeating, because it made me also feel fraudulent.
Samuel L. Jackson is one of the best actors there is.
I used to watch the old 'Flash Gordon' series on TV, and it was thrilling to rocket to the planet Mongo every week. But after a while, I figured out that although Flash got the girl and all the accolades, it was really Dr. Zarkov who made the series work. Without Dr. Zarkov, there could be no Flash Gordon.
Any good actor is a character actor.
Quentin Tarantino and Sam Jackson are the reasons I'm an actor.
Actors are actors, and there should be a complete fluidity for anyone to play anything.
My favorite actor that I look up to is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. His career is something I look up to, I just want to be that guy. He's always part of projects that have a lot of soul and that's what I want to do as an actor.
Roles make the actor.
I guess any movie actor can become a role model for audiences out there who enjoy him.
