Quentin Tarantino | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Quentin Tarantino paid a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night (January 8) and shared the funny connection between his 1992 crime film Reservoir Dogs and the classic TV show The Golden Girls.

The Oscar-winning writer-director explained how his acting cameo gig he landed on The Golden Girls as an Elvis impersonator helped him create Reservoir Dogs.

Quentin had what he called “a very unsuccessful acting career.” Tarantino shared, “However, one of the jobs I did get, and not because I did a wonderful audition, but simply because they sent my picture in and they said, ‘He’s got it,’ was for an Elvis impersonator on ‘The Golden Girls.’”

“It became a two-part ‘Golden Girls.’ So I got paid residuals for both parts,” Quentin continued. “It was so popular they put it on a “Best of The Golden Girls,” and I got residuals every time that showed. So I got paid maybe, I don’t know, $650 for the episode, but by the time the residuals were over, three years later, I made like $3,000. And that kept me going during our pre-production time trying to get ‘Reservoir Dogs‘ going.”

Quentin also talked to Jimmy about becoming a local celebrity after earning a reputation for giving super-involved movie recommendations as a video store clerk and how his record collection helps him write movies.
