Legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson listed his top five films in which is stars, during an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, earlier this week.
“Some actors lie to you about that. They watch their movies,” Jackson said. “It’s a ‘watch me’ business, that’s why we’re here.”
He continued: “If I’m channel surfing, and I haven’t found anything that I wanna watch or I’m not specifically looking for something… I pass something I’m in I’ll watch it.”
