As a huge cinema fan, I’ve always been blown away by Samuel L. Jackson’s work, and his performance in ‘Afro Samurai’ and ‘Afro Samurai: Resurrection’ is something special. He is Afro, bringing that incredible intensity to a character who, while the hero, is often pretty dark and ruthless. It’s fascinating because you’re often questioning who the real villain is. What’s even cooler is he also voices Ninja Ninja, this hilarious, constantly-talking sidekick who feels like Afro’s own thoughts and insecurities brought to life. Jackson’s voice and presence just perfectly fit the show’s gritty, hip-hop vibe. It’s a truly unique series – a real standout that brilliantly blends Western and Japanese animation styles, and his performance is what really holds it all together.

Coming out helped refresh his public persona and allowed him to champion important social causes.
