And don't think for a minute this is gonna hurt his reputation. He's gonna cash in big time because all these young folks who the film was designed for just got introduced to Samuel Jackson.

Given the choice between the intense preparation for a serious screen role versus playing golf with his homies, Samuel L. prefers the latter. I don't think he has any serious aspirations to win an Oscar or be Denzel's equal. Barry is correct; Samuel L. is simply having fun and he loves being offbeat. It's his nature. It's too bad - he's a marvelous actor, but how many great roles are there for middle-aged Afro-American actors?
I think Jamie Foxx will also follow this same path - he got his one and only Oscar. It's all downhill from this point on for him.
