20 Things You Somehow Missed In Django Unchained

20. James Remar Plays Schultz's First Kill AND The Person Who Kills Him

You may well have noticed that veteran character actor James Remar plays two supporting roles in the film, but did you appreciate their fateful significance for Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz)?

Near the start of the movie, Remar first appears as Ace Speck, Django's (Jamie Foxx) "owner" who soon enough ends up shot in the head and killed by Schultz. 

Remar then reappears later as Butch Pooch, one of Calvin Candie's (Leonardo DiCaprio) bodyguards who ends up shooting Schultz dead immediately after Schultz kills Candie.

To summarise - Remar ends up playing both Schultz's first kill in the movie and the man who ends up killing Schultz. As for why Tarantino cast the same actor in both these roles? You'd have to ask him.
