Tim Roth: Quentin Tarantino
built 184 days ago
As a British actor, Tim Roth’s greatest success came after 1990 when he moved to the States to play American heavies. He has been a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino. He speaks fluent French and German and served as president of the jury for the Camera d'or - a prize awarded to first time filmmakers - at the Cannes Film Festival in 2004. He is one of the first actors to get the trendy "thorny tribal" tattoo around his arm and bears tattoos on his right arm for significant events in his life.

Roth's second release of 1994 would take him back into the heart of Americana, as well as back to the box-office heights. This was Pulp Fiction, Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece, a series of intersecting stories featuring chatting hitmen, kinky dancing, sodomy, overdoses, geeks, revenge, murder and carefully concealed watches. It was the hippest movie in years, and all topped and tailed by lovers and partners in crime Roth and Amanda Plummer - Pumpkin and Honey Bunny respectively - whose attempt to turn over a restaurant is foiled by a very pissed off Samuel L Jackson, earlier Roth's co-star in Jumpin' At The Boneyard. Actually, Plummer was ... a former co-star, having appeared with Roth in Monkey Park, a short concerning love and incest that was made in 1992, but not shown till the festivals of 1998.

Starring opposite Gary Oldman, Roth made an impression on many a filmgoer, including Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino cast Roth as undercover policeman Mr. Orange in his 1992 ensemble piece Resevoir Dogs, a film that allowed the actor to prove he could do an American accent and bleed to death convincingly.
