With the first full-fledged role he made his debut in the Richard Linklater "a confused and muddled" (93).

Jackson (as well as Kevin Spacey, . Sandra Bullock, . Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, . Brand Fricker and Ashley Judd), . and implement the on-screen to their full potential in life failed lawyer,
