nicholas joseph fury jr.
after a turn as the criminal big don in 1993's "true romance"—written by quentin tarantino and directed by tony scott—tarantino asked jackson to play jules winnfield in "pulp fiction". jackson was surprised to learn that the part had been specifically written for him: "to know that somebody had written something like jules for me. i was overwhelmed, thankful, arrogant—this whole combination of things that you could be, knowing that somebody's going to give you an opportunity like that." although "pulp fiction" was jackson's thirtieth film, the role made him internationally recognized and he received praise from critics. in a review by "entertainment weekly", his role was commended: "as superb as travolta, willis, and keitel are, the actor who reigns over "pulp fiction" is samuel l. jackson. he just about lights fires with his gremlin eyes and he transforms his speeches into hypnotic bebop soliloquies." for the academy awards, miramax films pushed for, and received, the best supporting actor nomination for jackson. he also received a golden globe nomination and won the bafta award for best supporting role.
