Welcome to the second batch of inductions onto the Fonzie's Wall of Cool. Each week, two people will get a place on the wall. Let's get straight into it...
Samuel L. Jackson just oozes cooliness. I think people noticed how cool this guy is with 1994's Pulp Fiction, eating burgers and spouting religious passage (and also making a jerrycurl hair style look cool) and he's been constantly cool since then (and was before). He was the only Jedi Knight with a purple Lightsabre for Christsake and whether he's battling snakes on a plane, chaining nymphomaniacs to radiators, going up against super intelligent sharks or with bone's that are almost made of glass, the guy is one cool mutherfucker (I had to say it once).
The first British entrant onto the wall as like Jack Nicholson been cool since the 60s, his roles as Alfie and in The Italian Job made him a Britannia legend, Get Carter showed he could one cold hard-arse. He may have made some (or many) turkeys in his career (THAT Jaws sequel) but his charm more then makes up for it, even into his later career playing Scrooge in Muppet Christmas Carol, his skeeming role in Little Voice or as Austin Powers dad, he's done it all with genuine British class.
