With a resume boasting a variety of villains and bunglers, actor Tim Roth has often had to avoid being typecast in order to play roles that showcase his extraordinary talents. Equally at home in comedy and drama, Roth made an immediate impression in his first screen performance, “Made in Britain” (1982), as an unapologetic skinhead with a swastika tattoo on his forehead. He quickly gained popularity after playing an assassin-in-training in “The Hit” (1984), then made a name for himself in the United States as the troubled Vincent Van Gogh in Robert Altman’s “Vincent & Theo” (1990). But it was his work with Quentin Tarantino on “Reservoir Dogs” (1992) and “Pulp Fiction” (1994) that cemented his status as one of the indie world’s top stars. (Unlike many of Tarantino’s favorite actors, however, he didn’t work with the writer/director very often; his roles in the anthology “Four Rooms” (1995) and the violent western “The Hateful Eight” (2015) were separated by two decades.) “Rob Roy After his Oscar-nominated turn in ” (1995), Roth decided to play malcontents of varying degrees before breaking big-budget Hollywood with major roles in “Planet of the Apes” (2001) and “The Incredible Hulk” (2008). ). Meanwhile, she continued to work regularly in smaller films on both sides of the Atlantic, such as Michel Haneke’s own “Funny Games” (2007) and the English-language remake of Ava DuVernay’s “Selma” (2014).
