The media is filled with personnel who at some point just stopped getting work...
Get the movie "The Big Picture".  A young director want-to-be goes around Los Angeles and runs into dozens of washed up directors who are now doing menial work...
Hollywood is filled with people like Teddy Peppers in "Two Days in the Valley", they have an Emmy or an Oscar and are in poverty.

Yup - figured he'd be a bit more discriminating when it comes to movie roles but I guess not

Samuel L Jackson has the record for having the highest total gross dollars made in movies.  His movies has made money all put together than anyone else in show business.  And in Hollywood if the work is slow you take what you can get.  It is called a paycheck and it is better than nothing.

Yeah. He's remarkable. He does 4-5 movies/year and has done for 20 years. That rate is unheard of today.
