Oddly, I found the bios as interesting as the behind the scenes photos (though I enjoyed the full life T-Rex on the wall!)

Jurassic Park came out before Pulp Fiction, and stars Samuel L Jackson:

> Jackson made his indelible mark on film with his portrayal of a crack addict, Gator, in Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever." For this searing characterization, Jackson received the first Best Supporting Performance award ever given out by the judges at the Cannes Film Festival. Jackson's versatile career, which includes film, television and stage work began...

Thirty years later, to me, he is indelibly associated with Pulp Fiction. Bios like this are a mark into how people were seen in the past. I's fascinating seeing what an impressive career he had (he was a stage actor, too, which I -- I'm really marking my generation with this whole comment -- only learned reading this) that has been almost erased by the subsequent career trajectory he had.
