Quentin Tarantino likes to work with the same select group of actors over and over again.

They can handle my dialogue; it sounds good coming out of their mouths, says the filmmaker.

They understand the rhythms, but also and this is probably the most important part they get the jokes.

They know when, even when its not officially a joke, they know there is a laugh there.

But thats not for everybody.

Not every actor is born from that kind of theatricality that actually is required in my pieces.

So that level of respect I have only seen with Sam.

Its a remarkable relationship.

No such issue this time around.

Though the film is an ensemble, Jacksons Maj. Warren is the first among equals.

Samuel L. Jackson is this guy who fills up a room, says Goggins in the clip.

I give him the ball and hes going to dunk itevery time.

Hes this commanding presence.
