FWIW - BOM has a list, and Jackson is #9 -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:41 2
- Ah, but this does not include the first 2 SW prequels of Jurassic Park - counts them as cameos -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:42
- Conan mentioned it was Guinness (not always the most reliable source, sadly). -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:42
Amos & Andrew! (imdb surprise: Patriot Games?) -- nm - Max Jul 8, 08:38 3
- Goodfellas is another one. He played Stax (the truck driver from the Luftansa heist who is the first to get whacked) -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:43 1
  - right you are -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 08:45
- yep..he was Robbie! -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 08:41
Jurassic Park, Patriot Games -- nm - Roger More Jul 8, 08:38
Kill Bill, SoaP -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:36
Formula 51, Pulp Fiction, True Romance, Unbreakable, The Negotiator -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 08:35 4
- Man, I thought I knew every obscure cameo in True Romance, but Sam Jackson? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:40 3
  - It ... surprises you ... that Sam Jackson was in a Tarantino film? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 08:41 2
    - wrote, not directed -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:42 1
      - Well, I suppose that's an important point; he'd be far less likely to have creative control as a director. But maybe it was the beginning of them? :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 08:43
Star Wars prequels, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard 3 off the top of my head for big grossers -- nm - Jim Jul 8, 08:35 1
- Those were my immediate choices. The prequels totally skewed the charts for a bunch of actors. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:36
I thought Eddie Murphy held this title? -- nm - MDH Jul 8, 08:34 4
- Jeff Goldblum would if he did more movies. -- nm - Spawn Jul 8, 08:45
- I don't know about that, but if you filter it down to leading roles or live-action it's definitely not Jackson. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:35 2
  - Murphy's very high on the list, with the BHC series, Coming to America, teh Doolittles, the Nutty Profs, then Shreks. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 08:36 1
    - I don't doubt he's high. Also Harrison Ford has to be high up. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:36
The main thing is Star Wars prequels, plus they probably are including voice work like The INcredibles. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 08:34
Star Wars 1-3.....Jurassic Park. I think that's his top 4. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 08:34 1
- Oh, there it is. I thought we'd forgotten Jurassic Park. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:37
Amadeus - con_carne Jul 8, 08:34 3
- That starred SLJ, dork! -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:35 2
  - Jungle Fever! -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:37 1
    - Coming to America -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 08:37
