Samuel L. Jackson, debut on Apple TV with “The last days of Ptolemy Gray”

Actor and executive producer. Samuel L. Jackson, who on Disney + will reprise the role of Nick Fury, Marvel sergeant, has decided to star in protagonist in the television miniseries The last days of Ptolemy Grey, adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Walter Mosley. The actor, determined to also serve as the producer of the work, will not, however, have the appearance that one is used to knowing.

The last days of Ptolemy Grey, ordered by Apple Tv, it is the sad story of a ninety-one-year-old man, forgotten by his family and himself.

Over the years, Ptolemy Gray, who her children abandoned in a medical-health facility, has lost the clarity of the past. Dementia, like a dark ghost, has overshadowed every thought, darkened the mind of the man that Jackson, 71, will have to interpret. The drama of Ptolemy Gray, the loneliness of an elderly man left to die far from home is not, however, the only focal point of the television miniseries, which, like the book, has a part of yellow in it.

Alongside Gray’s human drama, there is the death of his grandson, a circumstance that allows him to briefly recover his memory to resolve, or try to, the family tragedy.
