The Black Snake Moan Interview

Born in Washington, DC on December 21, 1948, Samuel Leroy Jackson made his film debut in 1972 in ’Together for Days' while still a student at Morehouse College.

Jackson went on to receive critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination for his performance as Jules, the philosophizing hitman in Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction.

Most recently, Sam wrapped production on Home of the Brave, a film co-starring Jessica Biel and 50 Cent which chronicles the struggle of three soldiers returning home after a lengthy tour of duty in Iraq to cope with life after war.

Jackson has also completed work on Black Snake Moan, filmed entirely on location in Memphis, with director Craig Brewer (’Hustle and Flow’). There, Jackson plays named Lazarus, a blues musician who attempts to cure a character portrayed by Christina Ricci of nymphomania.
