Tarantino has a limited number of character types that he can write. It's not the actors faults

JJL Oscar when?

Character is written to be a brit. Waltz is austrian

Yes word in hollywood rumor mill is Waltz didnt kiss QT's ass enough on the Django award tour and he turned down the role here to do Bond. Niggas aren't cool right now that's for sure.

>Tarantino has a limited number of character types that he can write.
Not really. He just likes to keep a few actors on for multiple movies and always brings in a few new ones. He'll choose an actor he wants to come back and write a part with them in mind and it usually works out because he can get who he wants. But in this case he goofed because Waltz doesn't wanna be that "Tarantino guy" (too late methinks) and said no.

What exactly does Roth do that feels like Waltz though?

Why does he always hire the same actors? He claims to be this prophet of diversity and yet if every director was like him, <100 people would have actor jobs in hollywood.

Everything. He moves and acts the way Schultz does in Django, mixing danger and a certain naiveness in the character. Just like Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds as well.

I bet the scene was initially written for Waltz, and he turned it down. Instead of finding another german-speaking guy he just made some minor changes and called it a new character.

Shame. When I heard that Tarantino had a part for Waltz and he turned it down I hoped Tarantino would re-write it or something. It's not gonna help the movie if all I can do is think of Waltz when watching Roth.

Does Roth at least do a good job with it?

Roth is more than fine in that role, but the character screams King Schultz.
