LOS ANGELES: Alexa, what's that famous quote from Snakes On A Plane?

Samuel L. Jackson inked a deal with Amazon to provide first celebrity voice option for Alexa, its cloud-based digital assistant. According to the e-commerce giant, it will add more celebrity guest voices for the platform starting in 2020. The Jackson "voice pack" for Alexa will be available later this year for the special intro price of US$0.99 (RM4.15) – and users can select either clean and explicit modes.
