Samuel L. Jackson, where are you? With 152 movie titles and $27 billion in box office earnings, Samuel L. Jackson has achieved more than any other actor in Hollywood history. However, there's a side to the iconic actor that many people may not be aware of—his extensive philanthropic efforts.

Samuel L. Jackson has been a generous donor to numerous organizations, including the Alzheimer's Association, American Institute for Stuttering, American Red Cross, Artists for a New South Africa, Bedford Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation, and Black Economic Alliance. His contributions also extend to The Brain Trust, Cedar Sinai, Broadway Cares, Equity Fights AIDS, Carousel of Hope, Children's Defense Fund, Earth Island Foundation, The Hollywood Foundation for Autism and Parkinson's Disease, In a Perfect World Foundation, The Joseph Lowry Institute for Social Change, Magic Johnson Foundation, Spelman College, Morehouse College, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, National Action Network, Kidney Foundation, Solutions Coalition, The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History, United N**** College Fund, and The Urban League.

This extensive list of charitable organizations highlights Jackson's commitment to giving back to the community and supporting various causes. Social media users have praised Jackson for his generosity. One user commented, "Sometimes it's easy to forget how often Denzel has shown he is a man of great character. Also, props to Sam Jackson for not h***ding his money but using it to create change." Another added, "Class acts, both of them."

Denzel Washington also received commendation for his charitable activities. One user mentioned, "And Denzel helped pay for Chadwick Bozeman's acting classes among other things. Spread it around people!"

People also acknowledged Jackson's humility and character. "Samuel L. Jackson had a very severe stutter as a child; to some extent, he still has it. He cured it with the word 'motherf***er.' Apparently, it switches off the stutter," shared one commenter. Another user humorously noted, "Sorry. 'Magic Johnson Foundation' - sounds like a powder that helps with erectile dysfunction."

One user reminisced, "The first time I’ve ever seen Denzel Washington was in a movie called Carbon Copy. It was a comedy, and he was awesome. It made me think of the first time I saw Wesley Snipes in a movie - Major League - a comedy. He was laughable in it. Some great actors are really versatile."

The video and its comments have moved many viewers emotionally. "Seeing this always makes me a little emotional. I really have enjoyed many of their films, and they truly seem like stand-up individuals. I don't know why I have also had a love for African American-based media. Loved BET growing up. A lot of great films are coming out now with more representation for people of color. I really appreciate it," shared another user.

Samuel L. Jackson is more than just a legendary actor; he is a man of great character and generosity. His extensive philanthropic efforts serve as a testament to his commitment to making a positive impact on the world.

It’d be so funny if you see the list afterwards and all donations are in a 5$ range haha Which of course isn’t the case he does give a lot to charity and him and Denzel help lots of young artists as well.
