Fresh off a terrible casting decision yesterday, Quentin Tarantino has decided to offer “The Office’s” B.J. Novak an acting slot as PFC Utivich, in his upcoming film “Inglorious Basterds,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. We assume Quentin is in the fuck-it stage of his career and just throwing out parts in his movie to people who he enjoys being around or made him laugh in the last few weeks.
Not that we have anything against Novak; he actually seems pretty decent for the part actually, but you’d think for one of the most anticipated movies of next year and for one of the most significant American roles in the movie, QT would want a razor sharp talent, not someone whose biggest acting credit to date is from “The Office.” We can just hold out hope that he rights his wrongs by correctly casting the European parts. Seriously Quentin, don’t fuck this up anymore than you already have.
He was pretty good on punkd too (sarcasm)
well he is the best writer that the show has, so he could bring his subtile wit into this movie. I don’t know anything about the character or the script other than what you reported, so maybe I’m just talking out my ass.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s a bad idea frankly. And as I said earlier, they’re small parts, so they kind of begat small actors. But then again QT love TV and watches a lot of it so, he’s probably not concerned and genuinely casts who he wants big or small names, that’s irrelevant to him.
