However , their first collaboration could have happened two years earlier , as Jackson really auditioned forReservoir Dogs , but it did n’t go as he expected .
Why Samuel L. Jackson Didn’t Appear In Reservoir Dogs
In an interview withVultureback in 2015 , after their sixth collaboration inThe Hateful Eight , Samuel L. Jackson reminisced about his friendship with Quentin Tarantino and how it begin . Jackson shared that back in 1991 , after his critically acclaimed part in Spike Lee ’s wild-eyed dramaJungle feverishness , he go to an auditory modality for the first feature article of an unnamed screenwriter . Jackson prepared for it and learn a scenery he thought he would be playing with Tim Roth and Harvey Keitel , but the tryout did n’t go as he would have liked . Jackson did n’t do the shot with either Roth or Keitel , and instead , he read with two hombre he had never seen before but who were very unprofessional , as they did n’t love their telephone circuit and could n’t lay off laughing . The hearing was bad , and Jackson did n’t get the role , but to his surprisal , he later learn that the two whacky guys he read with were none others than producer Lawrence Bender and Tarantino himself .
Luckily , that inauspicious first coming together between Jackson and Tarantino did n’t block them from lick together and eventually becoming friends , and they crossed paths again atReservoir Dogs ’ premiereat the Sundance Festival , and Tarantino tell him he was writing something for him – however , hisPulp Fictionaudition did n’t go as plan either . When Jackson arrived at the sense of hearing , he was mistaken for Laurence Fishburne , who had antecedently been offered the rule of Jules Winnfield but turned it down , and this understandably did n’t sit well with Jackson , whose ire translated into his performance at the sense of hearing , but this ultimately got him the persona . It ’s undecipherable which roleSamuel L. Jacksonwould have represent inReservoir Dogs , as Tim Roth and Harvey Keitel ’s characters share the screen with dissimilar characters , but everything turn out for the best for him andQuentin Tarantino , andPulp Fictionwas the rootage of one of the honorable collaborations in the film industry .
