Türkçe

biography:
Samuel Leroy Jackson, 21 Aralık 1948 tarihinde Washington, D.C.'de dünyaya gelmiş, ancak Tennessee eyaletinin Chattanooga şehrinde annesi tarafından büyütülmüştür. Gençlik yıllarında kekemelik sorunuyla mücadele eden Jackson, bu durumu aşmak için oyunculuğa yöneldi ve Atlanta'daki Morehouse College'da Deniz Biyolojisi okurken drama bölümüne geçiş yaptı. 1960'ların sonlarında sivil haklar hareketinde aktif olarak yer aldı. 1972'de mezun olduktan sonra New York'a taşındı ve burada tiyatro oyunlarında rol alarak oyunculuk kariyerine başladı.

Kariyerinin ilk dönemlerinde "Tiyatroya Geliş" (Coming to America) (1988) gibi filmlerde küçük roller üstlendi. Spike Lee ile olan verimli işbirliği, kariyerinde bir dönüm noktası oldu. Lee'nin "Do the Right Thing" (1989), "Mo' Better Blues" (1990) ve özellikle "Orman Ateşi" (Jungle Fever) (1991) filmlerindeki rolleriyle dikkat çekti. "Orman Ateşi"ndeki uyuşturucu bağımlısı "Gator" rolü o kadar etkileyiciydi ki, Cannes Film Festivali jürisi onun için özel olarak "En İyi Yardımcı Erkek Oyuncu" kategorisini oluşturarak onu ödüllendirdi.

1990'lar Jackson'ın küresel bir yıldıza dönüştüğü yıllar oldu. "Yurtsever Oyunları" (Patriot Games) (1992) ve "Jurassic Park" (1993) gibi gişe rekortmeni filmlerde yer aldıktan sonra, 1994 yılında Quentin Tarantino'nun kült klasiği "Ucuz Roman" (Pulp Fiction) filmindeki İncil'den alıntılar yapan felsefi tetikçi Jules Winnfield rolüyle sinema tarihine geçti. Bu performansıyla En İyi Yardımcı Erkek Oyuncu dalında Oscar adaylığı ve BAFTA ödülü kazandı. Bu rol, onun Hollywood'daki yerini sağlamlaştırdı ve Tarantino ile "Jackie Brown" (1997), "Django Unchained" (2012), "The Hateful Eight" (2015) gibi birçok projede tekrar bir araya gelmesini sağladı.

Jackson, "Zor Ölüm 3" (Die Hard with a Vengeance) (1995), "Öldürme Zamanı" (A Time to Kill) (1996), "Müzakereci" (The Negotiator) (1998) ve "Derin Sular" (Deep Blue Sea) (1999) gibi aksiyon ve gerilim filmlerindeki başrolleriyle gişedeki başarısını kanıtladı. 1999'da George Lucas'ın "Star Wars" öncül üçlemesinde ("Gizli Tehlike", "Klonların Saldırısı", "Sith'in İntikamı") bilge ve karizmatik Jedi Ustası Mace Windu karakterini canlandırarak yeni bir neslin hayranlığını kazandı.

2000'li yıllarda kariyerini M. Night Shyamalan'ın "Ölümsüz" (Unbreakable) (2000) ve "Glass" (2019) filmlerindeki Elijah Price (Mr. Glass) rolüyle zenginleştirdi. Ancak şüphesiz en ikonik rollerinden biri, 2008 yapımı "Iron Man" filminin sonunda kısa bir sahnede görünerek başladığı S.H.I.E.L.D. Direktörü Nick Fury rolü oldu. Marvel Sinematik Evreni'nin (MCU) temel taşlarından biri haline gelen bu rolle "The Avengers" (2012) başta olmak üzere sayısız film ve "Secret Invasion" (2023) gibi dizilerde yer aldı.

Sinema tarihindeki en üretken ve en çok gişe hasılatı elde eden aktörlerden biri olan Samuel L. Jackson, kendine has tarzı, güçlü ekran duruşu ve "cool" tavrıyla nesiller boyu izleyicilerin hafızasına kazınmıştır. 2022 yılında, sinema endüstrisine yaptığı olağanüstü katkılardan dolayı Akademi Onur Ödülü (Onursal Oscar) ile onurlandırılmıştır.

Семюел Л. Джексон

biography:
Семюел Лерой Джексон (нар. 21 грудня 1948 р.) — американський актор і продюсер. Він є одним із найвідоміших акторів свого покоління; фільми, у яких він знявся, загалом зібрали у світовому прокаті понад 27 мільярдів доларів, що робить його другим актором за касовими зборами за всю історію кіно. У 2022 році Академія кінематографічних мистецтв і наук вручила йому Почесну премію «Оскар» як «культурній іконі, чия динамічна творчість знайшла відгук у різних жанрах, серед різних поколінь та глядачів у всьому світі».

Джексон розпочав свою кар’єру на сцені, дебютувавши в 1980 році у виставі «Мати Кураж та її діти» у театрі «The Public Theatre». З 1981 по 1983 рік він вперше зіграв роль рядового Луїса Хендерсона в оф-бродвейській виставі «П’єса солдата». Він також вперше зіграв роль Боя Віллі у п’єсі Огаста Вілсона «Урок гри на фортепіано» у 1987 році в Єльському репертуарному театрі. У 2022 році він повернувся до цієї п’єси в рамках бродвейського відновлення, зігравши роль Докера Чарльза. Серед ранніх кіноролей Джексона — «Прибуття в Америку» (1988), «Хлопці з мафії» (1990), «Ігри патріотів» (1992), «Джус» (1992), «Справжнє кохання» (1993), «Парк Юрського періоду» (1993), «Загроза суспільству II» (1993) та «Фреш» (1994).

Проривною роллю для Джексона стала роль у фільмі Квентіна Тарантіно «Кримінальне чтиво» (1994), яка принесла йому премію BAFTA та номінацію на премію «Оскар» за найкращу чоловічу роль другого плану. Він продовжив співпрацю з Тарантіно, знявшись у фільмах «Джекі Браун» (1997), «Джанго звільнений» (2012) та «Ненависна вісімка» (2015). Він відомий тим, що знявся у низці високобюджетних фільмів, серед яких «Міцний горішок 3: Помста» (1995), «Час вбивати» (1996), «Довгий поцілунок на ніч» (1996), «Переговорник» (1997), «Глибоке синє море» (1999), «Незламний» (2000), «Шафт» (2000) та його римейк (2019), «XXX» (2002), «S.W.A.T.

Він також здобув широке визнання в ролі джедая Мейса Вінду в трилогії-приквелі «Зоряних воєн» (1999–2005), а згодом озвучив цю роль в анімаційному фільмі «Зоряні війни: Війни клонів» (2008) та відеогрі «Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars» (2011). З його дозволу його образ було використано для створення версії персонажа Marvel Comics Ніка Ф'юрі в серії «Ultimate»; згодом він зіграв Ф'юрі в 11 фільмах Кінематографічного всесвіту Marvel, починаючи з камео у фільмі «Залізна людина» (2008), а також знявся в гостьовій ролі в телесеріалі «Агенти Щ.И.Т.». Він знову зіграє цю роль у майбутньому серіалі Disney+ «Таємне вторгнення», прем’єра якого запланована на 21 червня 2023 року. Джексон озвучував персонажів у кількох анімаційних фільмах, документальних стрічках, телесеріалах та відеоіграх, зокрема Люціуса Беста / Фрозона у фільмах студії Pixar «Суперсімейка» (2004) та «Суперсімейка 2» (2018).
