Samuel L. Jackson

So, which do you like him better as:

Mace Windu
Nick Fury

Don't know how to make a poll so there you go.

He was good as Shaft.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Not really indie, but he was also in Coming to America.

I don't particularly care for Sam Jackson in either role. But if you're gonna make me pick one, I have to go with Fury. I at least get him in that role. Mace Windu is a complete miscast. An uninteresting character that doesn't fit into the world at all. If I didn't know better I would think he was digitally added to the movies 20 years later for the Special Editions.
