67-year-old actor Samuel L Jackson told The Late Show host, Stephen Colbert he’s got at least 35 more movies in him.
The ‘hardest working man in Hollywood’ says he wants to have appeared in 200 movies by the time his career is done.
His tally so far is 165, including today’s release “The Legend of Tarzan” in which he plays historical figure George Washington Williams.
Jackson makes 4 or 5 films per year, spending more time overseas on movie sets than he does in Hollywood. (No wonder he’s #2 on the ‘Highest Grossing’ list below.)
