Actor Samuel L. Jackson will star in an upcoming ad called 'Wake the f--k up, Vote for Obama'. The YouTube spot, supporting President Obama’s re-election bid, was paid for by the Jewish Council for Education and Research Super PAC.
The online ad is expected to air Sept. 24.
Jackson is known for speaking a few choice vulgarities, in films and in his extracurricular activities. Reports
write the political ad is poking fun of Jackson’s viral
video “Go the F--k to Sleep,” where The Avengers actor narrates a children’s book written by Adam Mansbach.

offering “free lesbian sex” to billionaire Sheldon Adelson if he stopped supporting GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
Earlier this year, Jackson made a surprising statement to Ebony
magazine, saying he voted for Obama in 2008 "because he was black."
Jackson will next been in Quentin Tarantino's
