Stars and how they are perceived

The way stars are perceived is usually what movies they play in the most. Suspense and Action/Adventure catches my eye in a few stars. For example, a person who would be perceived as a somewhat ignorant/arrogant man is Samuel L. Jackson. Jackson has starred in some fantastic movies in his lifetime but how he is perceived today is a great actor but most people see him as ignorant more than arrogant. Jackson is only known to be ignorant because he is obnoxiously loud and he doesn't care what he says. This makes me like him more as an actor and a person even more. Suspense and Adventure is Jackson's specialty because he can play the hell out of Nick Fury in the Marvel films and Pulp Fiction made people fall in love with him. His part in Django as Stephen was fantastic and just plain hilarious but the magazine articles named him ignorant because they said he could have done better and not played the part of an Uncle Tom. What he portrays in movies might not be how he actually acts in real life. Publicity for a star like Jackson is a big thing because it gets him payed and he is put out into the world as a famous man no matter how people perceive him. The media sets the tone of the life of a star. Rather its in movies, sports, etc. The media wants the world to view the star in what they see on the screen rather than how the star truly is behind closed doors.
