Always looking for an opportunity for a cinematic inside joke, Quentin Tarantino then cast Michael Parks as Earl McGraw again in Kill Bill Vol. 1, the leading police officer that arrives after The Bride has been shot in the early stages of the film.
The actor would also reprise his role as Earl McGraw in both segments of Grindhouse, while Tarantino also used him in Kill Bill: Volume 2 and Django Unchained, too.
Just looking at Michael Parks’ work with Quentin Tarantino provides ample evidence of what made him such a mesmerizing character actor.
Parks first worked with Tarantino on From Dusk Till Dawn as Texas Ranger Earl McGraw, who in the opening scene is maniacally shot dead by Tarantino.
