    And yet SLJ has said, several times, that he would love to do the show.

    I don't know. Harrison Ford showed up on Young Indiana Jones Chronicles once.

    Eh, stunt casting usually advertises the person appearing. You aren't going to get people to tune in to watch Samuel L. Jackson without telling them Samuel L. Jackson is in the show.

    That being said, he seems like the kind of guy who would enjoy a minor cameo just for fun like that, so anything's possible.

    And yet there was this bit in the Bleeding Cool piece...

    Not advertising so much as creating buzz?

    In the lap of squalor I assure you.
    Terrance Stamp did voice work for Smallville because they couldn't afford him in person.

    Did John Forsythe get paid less for his work on Charlie's Angels in the 70s?

    Heh. Maybe that's why they said, "Be sure to watch all the way to the end of the show" or whatever. (Although I thought they were just being funny, because why wouldn't you watch all the way to the end?) Maybe there's an SLJ cameo right at the end, just before the credits roll...

    The "all the way to the end" thing probably refers to after the credits, not before, btw.

    But don't the credits get shrunk? I didn't notice how they worked last week. Most credits shrink up and other stuff gets played over them.

    Actually the rumor is that, in true Marvel Studios fashion, the cameo will be after the credits have rolled. Hence, "stay to the very end".:)

    For a moment there I thought that was Ming-Na's character name from Stargate Universe. But no, she was Camile Wray. Close but no cigar.

    That must be why the name seemed so familiar to me.

    Yeah.. there may be actors out there who aren't in it solely for the money and the fame.

    Jackson surely has enough money to live a very comfortable life until the end of his days so money can't or shouldn't be an issue.

    Some just really like the character.. would at least explain why Hugh Jackman agreed to do XMen Origins: Wolverine ;)

    His parents held hostage in a well, explains why he stayed to the end though.

    Samuel L. Jackson doesn't think he's too big for anything. He accepts roles if they are fun. That's the great thing about it. Which is why a Fury cameo is not improbable.
