With Eddie Murphy people forget how many animated films he has lent his voice to. Dunkey/Donkey in Shrek for instance which made lots of money. Also in more recent times hes done other more kid like movies like 2 Doctor Dolittles I think and the Klumps movies. Daddy Day Care even lol. Not a personal fan of his either though.
I do like Samual L. Jackson though and I think you'd be hard pressed to name too many other black actors on equal footing (Denzel Washington would be one perhaps). I particularly liked his performance in Kill Bill Vol 2.
In all seriousness though, besides his infamous role in Pulp Fiction, I rather liked him in the Die Hard Movie (3 was it?) And who couldn't like Mace Windu?
