Tarantino went on to describe Dano as \u201ca weak, weak, uninteresting guy,\u201d complaining that Day-Lewis was let down by the younger actor\u2019s Bafta-nominated performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou put him with the weakest male actor in SAG? The limpest dick in the world?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dano has a varied body of work, taking on the role of The Riddler in The Batman, and appearing in independent films Little Miss Sunshine and Swiss Army Man.<\/p>\n

He has been nominated for 19 acting awards across his illustrious nearly 30-year career.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not saying he is giving a terrible performance, I am saying he\u2019s giving a nonentity performance. I don\u2019t care for him. I don\u2019t care for Owen Wilson, I don\u2019t care for Matthew Lillard,\u201d the Pulp Fiction director said.<\/p>\n
Tarantino also claimed Austin Butler would have made a \u201cwonderful\u201d replacement for Dano, the Daily Mail reported.<\/p>\n
Butler played Manson family member and convicted murderer Tex Watson in the director\u2019s 2019 ensemble film Once Upon A Time in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
He then went on to name Ridley Scott\u2019s 2001 flick Black Hawk Down as the best of the century.<\/p>\n
Centred around American soldiers involved in the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, the war drama stars Ewan McGregor, Josh Hartnett, and Eric Bana and won Oscars for sound and editing.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt keeps up the intensity for two hours 45 minutes, or whatever it is, and I watched it again recently, my heart was going through the entire runtime of the movie; it had me and never let me go, and I hadn\u2019t seen it in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
He ranked Toy Story 3, Lost in Translation, and Dunkirk, in second, third and fourth places, respectively.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tarantino went on to describe Dano as \u201ca weak, weak, uninteresting guy,\u201d complaining that Day-Lewis was let down…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":326929,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[9716,1975,10960,64,63,7822,1728,447,183505,183508,183509,134,183507,4717,16371,22874,8936,1911,6342,86062,38924,79018,4031,183504,320,25228,82695,183506,1050],"class_list":["post-326928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-actor","tag-actors","tag-as","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-be","tag-blood","tag-celebrities","tag-dano","tag-danos","tag-describing","tag-entertainment","tag-guild","tag-in","tag-into","tag-male","tag-over","tag-paul","tag-performance","tag-quentin","tag-screen","tag-slams","tag-star","tag-tarantino","tag-the","tag-there","tag-torn","tag-weakest","tag-will"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326928","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326928"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326928\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326929"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
