That’s One Way To Land A Role

In a recent interview John Travolta revealed how he snagged the role of Vincent Vega in “Pulp Fiction.” Travolta went to director Quentin Tarantino’s apartment (which, coincidentally, used to be John’s apartment back in the day). They spent almost 24 hours together. The first thing they did was play John Travolta BOARD GAMES. Tarantino literally had the board game versions of “Saturday Night Fever”, “Welcome Back Kotter”, and “Grease”. After they were done playing games, Travolta decided to help Tarantino with his finances, since he was a young, struggling artist. A week later, he gave Travolta “Pulp Fiction”. Why? He told Travolta, “It was you helping me with my finances. You had this analytical, theoretical, philosophical viewpoint that I need for that character.”
