RIP Robert Forster

Not saying so much they were "discovered" or "rediscovered" but they were introduced to new audiences or seen in a different light after their appearances in Tarantino movies, and while critically respected - the Tarantino films were probably the biggest box office movies they'd been in

 

For me, Reservoir Dogs was my introduction to Keitel. Bad Lieutenant was around the same time, but I don't think I saw it before RD. Looking at IMDB, there were some good, smaller roles immediately before RD, but the mid to late-80's were a down time. Also, he started to play similar roles after RD, like City of Industry for example.

Before RD, Tim Roth was in arty shit not many people in America would have seen.
