I just saw him a month ago performing in Brooklyn!  This is a huge, huge shock..   :'(

He was just in Portland recently too, playing at an outdoor blues festival along the river. Damn shame.

So tread carefully all--there's a third yet to come.
Let's get right to it.

All eyes turn to Jules Winnfield:

Soul Men (2008)
Cast (Credited cast)

Samuel L. Jackson ... Louis
Bernie Mac ... Floyd
Isaac Hayes ... Himself

If you're thinking of character actor Paul Winfield, he died 4 years ago.  Jules Winnfield was SLJ's character in Pulp Fiction.
