Claims that Tarantino acted in the films "Dawn of the Dead" and "King Lear" are incorrect. Quentin falsely listed these credits years ago on his acting resume to compensate for his lack of experience.

He did a couple of guest appearances on TV:
In "The Golden Girls" he played an Elvis Impersonator (1988), In the episode 'Pulp Sitcom' of "All-American Girl" (Feb. '95) he played Desmond.

In 1995 the biography "Quentin Tarantino: The Man and his Movies" by Jami Bernard appeared (Harper Perennial / Harper Collins, New York, ISBN 0-06-095161-3).

There is always a Dutch element in his films:
The opening tune of "Reservoir Dogs", 'Little Green Bag', was performed by "The George Baker Selection" and written by Jan Gerbrand Visser and Benjamino Bouwens, who are all Dutch.
In "Pulp Fiction" there is the conversation between Jules and Vincent about Amsterdam.
Rutger Hauer is mentioned in "Jackie Brown".
