Oops I quite liked Paul, but I was, shall we say, of a certain age when it came out Now, I'd have to agree.
Oh and Perp, the Hoff, made me giggle.

I was once a comic collector, but realized I was addicted to it & stopped reading comic books altogether. If Marvel has forgotten about the HOWLERS, & made a new version of Fury, then o.k., my bad.When Marvel recreated some of it's titles for the modern age a few years ago (The Ultimate titles), one of the strongest was The Ultimates, written by Mark Millar art by Brian Hitch. This was in all but the name, The Avengers.
This had a much more cinematic feel to it, stunning visuals with massive, breathtaking story arcs; and one of the things that was said from the word go, was that Fury was going to be a driving force behind it.
Both Millar and Hitch spoke about one thing concerning the character and that was how Samuel L Jackson was who they both thought of immediately and wrote/drew the character with that in mind.
When the movie franchise(s) started, almost from the word go there was a fan movement to have Jackson play the character if he were to appear.
And I guess that is why Jackson is playing Fury in the movies!
Fury as he appeared in The Ultimates a loooong time before he appeared on the big screen
I suspect he'd have been a great deal happier with Brosnan.
another Brosnan to make you smile: Mamma Mia, has anyone heard his singing?
.... but you can never say Lazenby/OHMSS sucked too many times.
Slightly amusing poiint about that film is that George Baker's voice played Bond for half of it, as well Makes one wonder if the producers didn't end up thinking it would be easier to dub a good actor on a walking tree than to try and get Lazenby to act.
Hauer: Larger, yes, intelligent eyes, yes, brutal, yes, Mongolian features, er..."...larger, with intelligent eyes but flat, Mongolian features which gave him a brutal look." (end of Chapter 13)
'The last goddamn Nexus-6 type,' Rachael said, enunciating with effort, 'is the same type as I am. She stared down at the bedspread, found a thread, and began rolling it into a pellet. 'Didn't you notice the description? It's of me, too. She may wear her hair differently and dress differently - she may even have bought a wig. But when you see her you'll know what I mean.' She laughed sardonically. 'It's a good thing the association admitted I'm an andy; otherwise you'd probably have gone mad when you caught sight of Pris Stratton. Or thought she was me.' (Chapter 16)

Jackson has quite a wide range of roles, from badass Fury to voicing the ass-kisser in AFROSAMURAI.
Of comics, I now read only manga.
too few smilies from which to choose.
You haven't seen OHMSS yet, then
There are many actors who only "play themselves." This doesn't stop them from being popular in Hollywood and doing lots of films, but in each role, they are exactly the same.
