9. Harvey Keitel
Harvey Keitel is well-known for his serious persona, possibly even more off-screen than on. So it is a bit of a surprise that he and Tarantino get on so well: you would have thought Keitel would have punched him in his "stupid, childish" face by now. Instead, he has delivered some of the most memorable character performances for the charismatic director, in some of his most acclaimed films. Tarantino first collared the veteran actor to star as the "grown-up" member of the band of jewellery thieves in Reservoir Dogs. Keitels Mr. White provided the pulse for the action and story, with his sharp suit, sharp tongue and trusty demeanor. His first appearance in a Tarantino film was Keitels largest role - but not necessarily his most prolific or memorable. He also stars as the even slicker Winston The Wolf Wolfe in Pulp Fiction, and his demanding tone can also be heard in Inglourious Basterds where he is the OSS Commander Who Agrees to Deal.
