Colonel Hans Landa
“Inglourious Basterds”
Quentin Tarantino has said that Landa might be the greatest character he’s ever written. The role ultimately went to Christoph Waltz, who, according to Tarantino, “gave me my movie back”, as he felt the movie could not be made without Landa as a character but feared the role was “unplayable”.
