8. Harvey Keitel as Mr. Winston 'The Wolf' Wolfe (Pulp Fiction)
Harvey Keitel is fantastic in Reservoir Dogs. It makes sense, then, that Tarantino would make room for him in his follow-up, gifting Keitel the role of a cheesy mob fixer hired to make the poor exploded head of Marvin disappear without trace. Snazzily moustachioed, nattily dressed, Keitels Mr. Wolf retains a soft, family-friendly exterior that betrays the foul-mouthed, NC-17 know-it-all that lies beneath, with a distinct threatening oddness that even puts seasoned hitman Jules Whinfield (Samuel L. Jackson) in his place. Ruthlessly dishing out orders and spitting out corny gags, you can practically smell the Old Spice and cheap tobacco lingering on this old-time gangster, a classic charmer with utmost confidence in his own abilities.
