DID you take our quiz about Samuel L. Jackson, starring on Broadway in "The Mountaintop," which opened just hours ago? Here are the answers.
1. (D) "The Piano Lesson." Charles S. Dutton wasn't available for the Yale Rep run, because he was doing a movie. But when Jackson was cast, it was understood from the beginning that Dutton would come back when the play went to Broadway.
2. (D) A doorman. Jackson worked at the Manhattan Plaza apartment building in the West 40s.
3. (B) and (C). Believe it or not. Jackson, who was in college in the '60s, was quite the activist. But then weren't we all?
4. (D) He had just gotten out of rehab.
5. (C) Leroy is his middle name.
