SLJ stars in everything. I remember a line from "Ted 2", something along the lines of "You know the black guy in any movie, that's Samual L Jackson!"

Seems like you could do a "Six Degrees of SLJ" about as easily as Bacon.

SLJ might only need 3 degrees at the rate he's going

Philip Seymour Hoffman was the new Kevin Bacon until the OD.

You could do that for any actor with a career of a couple of decades, if by no other way through a connection to Bacon or Jackson

I agree.

Thought about this a month ago when he was in some throw-away movie I saw from the past.

He apparently doesn't turn down anything.



Hey, why not? Get paid. Yell a lot, move on. Live in a nice mansion.

Just with his roles in the Avengers, Patriot Games, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, Jurrasic Park, and Goodfellas, he is probably three degrees away from any current actor.

Edit, just looked on IMDB. He has 165 credits (but that includes video games)

SLJ being in Coming to America makes him very connectable.

Good trivia, did you know Sam Jackson was the hardest working man in Hollywood for the 1990's? He made more movies than anyone else.
