Ever since I read that Samuel L Jackson is the world's most bankable star I've been a bit fixated on him.
I always thought he was reasonably charismatic and sometimes very good (eg. Pulp Fiction) but I never realized how successful he was in the bigger scheme.
Here's what I can evaluate for him. Tell me if I'm wrong.
Pros
What do you think when you contemplate Samuel L Jackson?
120 Movies, $13 Billion in Box Office: How Samuel L. Jackson Became Hollywood’s Most Bankable Star
Samuel L. Jackson, the box office king and Trump golf antagonist ("I've been reported to Twitter a lot"), beat crack addiction to build a film career unrivaled in modern stardom, and the 70-year-old 'Glass' actor aims to work well into his 80s — if Marvel and the rest of Hollywood can afford him.

Pros
- 6'1" or 6'2" see here.
- Very deep voice.
- Extremely high charisma - watching Kong Skull Island now and he's very good at it. Has a very particular way of speaking and emphasizing certain words that gets attention and draws you in. This is I think his greatest attribute and biggest source of his success.
- High intimidation capacity - when he starts yelling it sounds like you wouldn't want to yell back.
- Black.
- Facial asymmetry, massive philtrum.
- 4/10 face max.
- Not ripped, never was ripped.
- Sometimes he just yells a lot and seems unlikable and it's not remarkable (eg. Die Hard 3).
