The name might not be familiar to some, yet Paul Giamatti has been nominated for 45 awards in 8 years and notched 26. Usually playing the authoritarian figure, the former Yale University graduate usually portrays his wit and €“ not to mention €“ his explosive anger packed with a zest of his very own brand of dark humour. Could Giamatti thrive in a Tarantino directed production? Anger management issues on screen, delivered with passion along with a voice packed with presence makes the Brooklyn resident a worthy contender. Not to mention, the restaurant scenes in the long series of Tarantino movies comes as a factor indicating space for the big Giamatti. Tarantino€™s love for long scenes with compelling conversation makes the prospect of seeing the actor €“ his moody face and cheeks vibrating to the sounds of anger - an endeavour most QT fans would be smiling about, should it happen. Recent Qualifying scene: Hangover 2 €“ Alan, Phil and Stu find a clue in the shape of a note written €“ with a permanent marker on Alan€™s belly, leading them to the Lebua hotel. More precisely, to the table where Kingsley, (Giamatti) happened to be enjoying a meal at. The latter greets the group and treats them with welcoming warmth €“ giving them a short time to acclimate €“ before exploding - within the blink of an eye, and turning into a complete psycho screaming his lungs out.

Giamatti€™s career is showing no signs of slowing down and neither is Tarantino€™s. A collaborative work seems like a working formula - big mouths, big egos, big talk and big guns seem fairly fitting for both, actor and director €“ should they decide to entertain us all in the future.
