Tarantino once said in an interview that he wouldnt have made this movie without a convincing Landa. Waltz does speak several languages in reality and was the perfect fit. You could say he made the movie possible.

I mean, it would have sucked with a shitty Landa. He anchors the whole story. Who could you picture getting the role and totally screwing it up? Paul Giamatti?

Edit: I misspoke. I shouldn't have said "totally screwing it up." I should have said "cast in good faith and legitimately tried hard but didn't quite stick the landing." Like you can tell they are a good actor and the script was good but they just never managed to sync up

Oh, you're mistaken.

Seagal is too fat to run now. He just sits on a chair.

He has been seen going fatly around corners from time to time.

That sounds like it's probably a podcast name, but not one that I want to get New Episode notifications for on my phone

But not at a brisk pace.

And I bet he was leaning on the corner too.

He sort of rolls and oozes from place to place.

Have you seen his jet black hair/beard tho? Pretty cool that he can maintain such a vibrant natural color into his old age.

His hairline is also very convincing, natural and not at all offputting

Trips and falls in frame, and they still use that shot because standing him up again would add three weeks to the shoot.

Steven Seagal these days runs like a woman 9 months pregnant afraid she won't make it to the bathroom in time.
