Samuel L. Jackson on The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, the 10-Year Journey to Get It Made & Nick Fury
Apr 07 2022
Some actors are always great, and Samuel L. Jackson is undoubtedly one of those actors, but even great actors can give a truly special standout performance when they’re paired with a moving story that’s as beautifully written as The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey. Based on the acclaimed novel by best-selling author Walter Mosley, who was also the screenwriter for the project that was a decade in the making, the Apple TV+ series tells the story of an ailing man (Jackson) whose memory is failing him as dementia is threatening to take over. Instead of having family he can trust to help him, Ptolemy is left without a caretaker, until orphaned teenager Robyn (Dominique Fishback) comes into his life and realizes that the lessons that he can teach her and the emotional bond they form with each other are invaluable and life-changing.
