One of the greatest actors for more than 60 years and I do not think he was in a single degenerate, horror or devil-worshipping film. I don't recall him in any love scenes or anything blasphemous either, but I can't remember every frame.

For my money, he was one of the best actors and people of his profession, a man who succeeded in Hollywood but was able to stay above the fray.

He was nominated for an Oscar three times as an actor and won in 1983 for Tender Mercies.

Here is his deleted "Epstein file" scene.

It was in the original book too (made before the movie).

Dang, I had so many versions of The Godfather releases and this is the first time I've seen that. Haven't really watched since 2009, maybe it came out since then.

Anyway, that is a really shocking scene, even moreso than any of the violence. Kudos to Coppola for filming it. Too bad it didn't make the final cut.

I loved his roll in Falling down.

He's in a lot of entertaining movies, Secondhand Lions and Open Range are both great!

This is one of those cases where I thought he was older, and didn't realize he was still alive.

One time when he was on SNL he did a bit that I've never been able to find on the internet. He started out by playing a clip of Ronald Reagan talking about soldiers, where Reagan referred to the soldier's costumes. Jackson went off on Reagan, saying they're uniforms, not costumes, which Reagan would know if he wasn't just an actor. Basically tearing into Reagan as a stereotypical actor who doesn't know anything.

Then Jackson started rapping, and rapped out some smooth lines! It was hilarious because he was ripping on Reagan for being stereotypical, then he went into being a stereotypical black. Like I said, I've never been able to find the clip of this segment online. I think it was too edgy to be politically correct.

It turns out that all of these dudes were just CIA/media/chew frauds, no?

Yep.

Doesn't mean they were actively aware of that though.

Jackson might have been a fake to some extent, but he got a lot of heat for taking on zionists, which pretty much ended his political career as a Democrat.

Jackson has faced accusations of antisemitism, most notably in 1984 when he referred to Jews as "Hymies" and New York City as "Hymietown," for which he later apologized. He also suggested in 1979 that Jewish pressure was responsible for the ouster of U.S. Ambassador Andrew Young.
