Samuel L. Jackson doesn't really fit the Wood Harris All Stars, in the sense that he is now a Superstar actor and the coolest muthaf***a in hollywood, but I truly believe that the roll that made him that superstar actor is his roll as Gator in Jungle Fever. Gator was FLipper's (Wesley Snipes) crack smoking brother, and was simultaneously depressing and hilarious. But Gator alone wasn't always enough...when Vivian (Halle Berry) was around, they were the driving force of the movie because you couldn't wait till they came back to witness the barrage of loving insults and profanities they threw at each other.
As the first Female Inductee to the WHAS, Halle Berry is pretty much the epitome of the WHAS...even more than Mr. Harris himself. Because as beautiful as she is, Halle Berry is a pretty average actor, and most of her roles seem to be only beneficial because you get to look at her. EXCEPT for her portrayal of Viv in Jungle Fever. Jungle Fever is actually Halle Berry's first Major Motion Picture roll, which is why she is an ideal candidate for a WHAS honor. COngratulations, Halle!
