With only one film left in the STAR WARS prequel series, it looks like Samuel L. Jackson is working to snare another recurring role in a big Hollywood series. His latest attempt comes in this summer's new style spy flick, XXX.
In an interview with the Chicago Sun Times, Jackson explained his role in the film, staring Vin Diesel as a daring x-gamer turned spy.
"We have a street guy in an espionage situation. I'm like the M character," Jackson said. "I'm part of this alphabet government agency who runs Vin's character and talks tough. He's this BMX biker, tattooed, raw and tough. We make him a spy."
