Hear actor Samuel L. Jackson and music critic Milo Miles on this edition of Fresh Air.

In his new film Resurrecting the Champ, Samuel L. Jackson plays a homeless, broken-down former heavyweight-contending boxer. It's based on the true story of Battling Bob Satterfield. Jackson's other films include Black Snake Moan, Pulp Fiction, Jungle Fever, Coach Carter, Freedomland, and Unbreakable. Jackson studied dramatic arts at Morehouse College in Atlanta, and after he graduated, he originated roles in two of August Wilson's plays at the Yale Repertory Theatre.

Then, Milo Miles considers the celebrated salsa singer Hector Lavoe, the subject of the new film El Cantante. [Broadcast Date: August 14, 2007]
