His Acting Career
Tim Roth honed his acting skills performing in small theaters and improvising scenes in pubs. In 1983, he landed his first major movie role - he played a skinhead in the BBC movie Made in Britain. Roth was fortunate – he consistently landed compelling lead roles. Although Tim's early films weren't box office hits, he had the chance to play various characters: from the developmentally disabled young man in love in the comedy-drama Meantime (1983) to the stern hitman in Stephen Frears' movie The Hit (1984).
By the end of the 1980s, Tim Roth and other successful British actors, such as Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Daniel Day-Lewis, Bruce Payne and Paul McGann, were dubbed the Brit Pack in Hollywood. Tim's rising fame had already caught the attention of promising directors. Among them there was Quentin Tarantino, who in 1992 gave Roth the role in his debut movie Reservoir Dogs and two years later invited him to star in Pulp Fiction with John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis and Uma Thurman. These movies became extremely popular.Without question, Tim Roth as Vincent is the film's greatest asset...
