Samuel L. Jackson

Apparently, there was some controversy surrounding my comments in the K_Line survey about your top ten films. I said that Samuel L. Jackson was the top grossing actor of all time, and I stand by that remark. And frankly, aside from the near constant stream of profanity in many of his movies, I have to agree he is a pretty talented actor.

The top ten grossing actors of all time are:

10. Robin Williams
9. Will Smith
8. Morgan Freeman
7. Eddie Murphy
6. Bruce Willis
5. Tom Cruise
4. Orlando Bloom
