Meet The Inglourious Basterds

Exclusive! Tarantino and his stars speak...

Hugo Stiglitz

Played by: Til Schweiger

Nationality of actor: German

Nationality of character: German

Schweiger on Stiglitz: “He's very bloodthirsty - the only German-born member of the Nazi-killers.

"I couldn't wait to work with Quentin. The first production company that I funded was called Mr. Brown Entertainment and it was certainly inspired by Reservoir Dogs, and our first movie Knocking On Heaven’s Door was very much inspired by Quentin’s work.

"When I saw Pulp Fiction that changed my life. I thought this is the best picture I have ever seen in my life. Even though it was made fifteen years ago, it’s still a masterpiece, it’s one of the best movies ever made. 

"I was honoured when Quentin himself asked me if he could show Knocking On Heaven’s Door to the crew.”

QT says:
“I love Til's films. He’s a superb director and a terrific actor. Til reinvented himself at 30 with Knocking On Heaven's Door, he really wrote his own ticket. 

“His film Keinohrhasen - in Germany, it’s bigger than Harry Potter and Pirates Of The Caribbean. It's this massive, unprecedented hit. 

"The public love him and the fans love him and I thought that would be a great career to have - writing, directing, producing and acting.”

Next: Bridget Von Hammersmark
