Samuel L Jackson voices support for Occupy Wall Street protests

Speaking on US talk show The View, the 62-year-old Pulp Fiction star said: “I’m really glad when I look at those kids on Wall Street and I think, ‘Finally, someone got up and did something’. We used to be on the streets in the ’60s.”

He added: “I’m a child of the ’60s, when things bothered us, the [Vietnam] war, the presidency, whatever, we would get out there and let people know.

“There’s no use laying there at home going, ‘I don’t have a job’. You gotta say something.”
