Veteran actor Samuel L Jackson says he was not happy to learn that Brie Larson wanted to cast Bill Murray in "Unicorn Store" so he asked for a part himself.
The Oscar-winning actress is making her directorial debut with the upcoming comedy, reported Vanity Fair.
"(I asked her) 'So do you really think Bill Murray is a better actor than I am?' I pretty much asked her for the part," Jackson says.
The 68-year-old actor says he was impressed by Larson's abilities behind the camera.
"She was well prepared and co-operative. She knew why she hired me. She allowed me to bring a lot of different things to the part and have as much fun as I wanted to have," he says.
