8. Quentin Tarantino
Lets be honest... one of Tarantinos biggest fans is himself. If he didnt give himself parts to play in all of his films, he would probably feel they were incomplete works. But, to the directors credit, he can deliver a performance. Although not his own baby, in Robert Rodriguezs From Dusk Till Dawn he played George Clooneys rapist/murderer brother Richie Gecko, and he played the part convincingly. In fact, apart from his dodgy Australian accent in Django Unchained, Tarantinos many cameo roles are all passable. Some even verge on entertaining when theyre not forcing you to cringe. As well as his on-screen attempts, it is Tarantinos pop culture referencing, B-movie loving, exploitation obsessing, and geeky personality which is communicated throughout all of his works. And it is why many very talented professionals have either immensely enjoyed working with him, or are desperate to do so.
