Samuel L. Jackson performs "Breaking Bad" for charity

Samuel L. Jackson is doing some good, by performing some "Breaking Bad."

The actor, in a partnership with Prezio, launched a creative campaign to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association. Jackson raised more than $155,000 so far by doing what he does best: delivering some fierce monologues.

Jackson asked fellow Reddit users to donate, and in return he would upload a video reciting a speech of the Internet's choosing. Last week, Jackson performed an original monologue denouncing his career in acting to pursue a life of vigilantism. This week, he delivered Walter White's (Bryan Cranston) immortal "I am the one who knocks" monologue from the fourth season of "Breaking Bad."

As one Redditor posted, "in return Bryan Cranston should record himself doing the Ezekiel speech from 'Pulp Fiction.'" We can only hope.

But the crusade is far from over. One fortunate donor will have lunch with Jackson in the U.K. And if the charity reaches $175,000, three other randomly selected winners will have their voicemails recorded by Jackson himself.

Alzheimer's disease is a personal cause for the actor; both his mother and aunt were affected by it.

We can't wait to see how much money he'll raise, and what monologue will be next.
