Django Unchained
In Django Unchained, Tarantino plays a man who traps a few slaves and is named Frankie. While his acting is not the best, his inclusion in the scene is made memorable with just how bizarre it all is. His character also meets a satisfying end as Django shoots him in a satisfying way.
Desperados
In Robert Rodriguez’s Desperados, Tarantino plays the role of a man at a bar. While he orders a beer, he goes into a deep monologue of how the beer he is drinking reminds him of a rather crude joke. Sure it is weird, but Tarantino’s inclusion just makes the scene all the more better.
Sleep With Me
In this comedy-drama film, Tarantino appears as a guy named Sid, who is trying to make it into Hollywood. Now Tarantino is known for talking about how much he loves films, so he brings the same energy to this role too. Carrying around a script that he calls “one of the greatest scripts ever written,” this is one of Tarantino’s geekiest roles.
Pulp Fiction
This can probably be considered as a cameo, but Tarantino’s role here is as memorable as they come. Playing the role of Jimmie Dimmick, he helps Vincent and Jules with covering up a body and ridding all evidence of him. It’s a hilarious scene that sees Tarantino show off his comedic chops.
The Golden Girls
One of Tarantino’s earliest cameos, he wasn’t even popular back then. In an episode of The Golden Girls, Tarantino shows up as an Elvis impersonator among 11 others. Tarantino makes himself visible by going absolutely over-the-top, and it’s not hard to miss him in the scene. It’s made memorable due to the fact of just how bizarre it all is.
Quentin sure has made himself known as one of the greatest directors of all time, and his cameos are extremely memorable too. With this we finish off the list and wish Quentin Tarantino a very happy birthday.
