Samuel L. Jackson Finished With Action Films

Actor Samuel L. Jackson says that 2006 will be his last year of making action films.

The 57 year-old actor told IOL that he doesn’t think that he can compete with 20 year-old actors with stunts.  He says: "I don’t know how much longer I want to be running and jumping, chasing people and shooting at them."

"I don’t want to be going hand-to-hand with some 20-year-old and have people say, ‘He can’t fight a 20-year-old. Homeboy’s got about 20 seconds of real hard fightin’ in him before he’s out of breath and had to rest a minute.’"

Jackson stars in the action film Freedomland, which opens next month.
