Top 10 Movie Drug Dealers

Lanceplayed by Eric Stoltzin Pulp Fiction (1994)
According to that reliable fountain of information Courtney Love, her late husband Kurt Cobain turned down the role of drug dealer Lance in Quentin Tarantinos OSCAR-winning Pulp Fiction before the role eventually went to the man who was Marty McFly for a few weeks, Eric Stoltz. Had Cobain not turned down the role, Love would have played Lances better half, human pin-cushion Jody, so goes Loves tale anyway. But alas that didnt happen, Rosanna Arquette took on Jody, and the scenes involving Lance and Jody didnt become a complete farce. Eric Stoltzs Lance looks like he belongs as David Spades interpretation of a culprit on an episode of Cops long unwashed hair, unshaved, dirty robe, clothes he no doubt slept in, eating cereal at night and I cant remember what his choice of footwear was but Id venture: one flip-flop. That doesnt take away from the fact that this heroin dealer is central to the most memorable of Pulp Fictions interwoven stories and helps to administer that cringe-inducing adrenaline shot to Mia Wallaces heart as she lies prone on the floor of his bungalow. Laid back yet paranoid (drugs will do that to ya) Lance is not only part of the problem, hes part of the solution.
