The Request That
Samuel L.
Jackson Has In
Every One Of His
Contracts
By MARK D. MCKEE
Samuel L. Jackson is the most bankable actor in Hollywood. With nearly 200 screen credits to his name, Jackson has appeared in everything from "The Avengers" and "Star Wars" to cult thrillers like "Snakes on a Plane" and beloved indie films like "Pulp Fiction."
His appearances in all those films — as well as many others — have made him one of the most recognizable and influential actors in Hollywood. However, His passion for acting is rivaled only by his love for golf, and that is reflected in all of his contracts, where his right to golf is non-negotiable.
He specifies that he is allowed to go golfing twice a week while shooting any project. Considering just how busy Jackson keeps, it's undeniably impressive that he manages to star in as many movies and TV shows as he does while also maintaining a healthy hobby as a golfer, although he likely could have gone professional, given that he beat Tiger Woods at the St. Andrews golf course.
