Quentin Tarantino’s movies are driven by their characters, and the director loves to give his cast room in which to work
Photo: Vulture It takes only a thought exercise to realize how central certain performances are to Quentin Tarantino’s films. Imagine, if you can, what key parts might have looked like if someone else had played them: Daniel Day-Lewis as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction instead of John Travolta. Kill Bill with Warren Beatty as Bill instead of David Carradine. Leonardo DiCaprio as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds instead of Christoph Waltz.

Inspired by her work as Uma Thurman’s stunt double on the Kill Bill films, Tarantino cast Zoë Bell as one of the stars of Death Proof, his contribution to the double-feature Grindhouse, an homage to the low-budget exploitation films of his youth.
15. Kurt Russell as Stuntman Mike McKay, Death Proof Photo: Snap Stills/Shutterstock A scarred stuntman who spent his glory days working on TV shows no one remembers, Mike now spends his time stalking and killing women via a specially outfitted car. He’s a character who hates women in the middle of a film that at least begins as an homage to slasher films — a genre that often seems to hate women too.
11. Tim Roth as Mr. Orange, Reservoir Dogs Photo: Live Entertainment/Kobal/Shutterstock As the other half of the Mr. White–Mr. Orange double act, Tim Roth plays the first of many Tarantino characters to put their lives in jeopardy by assuming another identity in pursuit of a loftier goal. An undercover cop posing as a criminal, Mr. Orange lets doubt creep in only when he’s alone but then immediately sets about psyching himself up for the job at hand.
