Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson started using drugs around the same time he began his acting career. By the time he played crack addict Gator in Spike Lee’s 1991 Jungle Fever, Jackson was already in recovery. The Washington D.C. native has said filming the movie was cathartic. “It was a funny kind of thing,” said Jackson. “By the time I was out of rehab, about a week or so later I was on set and we were ready to start shooting.”
