7: Samuel L Jackson
Listen now
Description
Samuel L Jackson was in town for his new movie Glass. In an unedited interview with one of the world’s greatest actors Jonathan asks, is he caught in the middle of beef between Quentin Tarantino and Spike Lee? Did he play the Sugar Plum Fairy aged 3? Was he an usher at Martin Luther King’s funeral? The civil rights movement, racism, Kung Fu movies, controlling anger on a movie set when there are creative differences, learning his lines and being prepared for work, pilates, his love of theatre, the importance of the sound guy and the cogs of the movie machine. Bruce Willis, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard and Jackie Brown. His mum, Marvel, his favourite part, mortality and his wife and their fifty years together.
