Quick: name the highest grossing actor of all-time

His name would be Samuel L. Jackson:

Samuel L. Jackson's movies have made more than $7.4 billion -- making him the highest-grossing actor of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Jackson's Jurassic Park ($914 million), Pulp Fiction ($212 million) and the Star Wars prequels ($2.4 billion) are among his top earners.

He averages four films a year. He made six in 2010, four in 2011 and will have three in 2012.

I don't think he's that gross.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

A little misleading as no one went to see Jurassic Park or the SW prequels because of Samuel Jackson.

But he deserved an Oscar for Pulp Fiction. nod

He really did. I can't believe they gave it to Martin Landau from Ed Wood just for basically playing a 'crotchety old man'...
