Actor Samuel Jackson was born in the city of Washington.When he was still very young, the father of the family left his wife and child and left to arrange his life in Kansas. Samuel saw him only twice in his life before he died.

During this two years he spent on correctional work and received his bachelor's diploma at only 24 years old.
Samuel still can't explain why heI chose the acting profession: “Maybe it was interesting for me to look at myself from the outside,” says Mr. Jackson. Anyway, Samuel Jackson's filmography began to be replenished with films in 1972. And the first in this list was the film “Together Forever”.
