SAMUEL L. JACKSON ACTUALLY TURNS DOWN FILM ROLE
Popular Actor Stuns Hollywood By Not Accepting Role In A Motion Picture; Agent Reportedly "Worried and Concerned"
Actor Samuel L. Jackson, who is soon set to surpass Kevin Bacon as the thespian with the most connections to other actors with various degrees of separation, has allegedly refused a role in a work of fiction created for the motion picture screen. Sources say this may be the first case of Jackson ever making such a radical move, and those close to the film star are reportedly shocked. His agent, Swifty Swifkowitz, had no comment at first, then blurted out that he is "quite worried and concerned," since Jackson "has no previous history of refusing work of any kind whatsoever. I mean, he's in everything, is he not?"
Critics say the move is especially surprising, given that Jackson's last role was in the film "Ireland, Oh How Ye Snub the Black Man", in which he plays a leprechaun in the background of one minor scene.
Jackson could not be reached for comment, but we have learned that the film he turned down is either called "White Girls Can't Jump," or "Sharks On A Plane."
