Stage actor

• Beginning on April 5, 1998, Tarantino starred in a revival of Wait Until Dark at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on Broadway, where it ran for 97 performances.

Television appearances

• Tarantino appeared as Desmond, a bootleg video salesman, on the short-lived sitcom All-American Girl, starring then-girlfriend Margaret Cho, in the episode "Pulp Sitcom," a parody of Pulp Fiction.
• Tarantino appeared in the first and third seasons of the TV show Alias, as McKenas Cole.
• Tarantino played an Elvis impersonator in a season four episode of The Golden Girls.^[1]
• In November 2006, an episode of the Sundance Channel's Iconoclasts features Quentin Tarantino interviewing and spending time with singer Fiona Apple.
• Tarantino hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live in season 21 (1995–1996 season) with musical guest The Smashing Pumpkins.
• Tarantino was featured as a guest judge on the televised singing competition, American Idol, for one episode during its third season in 2004. He later served as a mentor during the eighth season's top 7 round, featuring "songs of the cinema."

Television directing

Tarantino has directed and been called to direct numerous television episodes.

• Tarantino directed the season 20 (1994–1995 season) episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by John Travolta (musical guest: Seal), which featured a sketch called "Quentin Tarantino's Welcome Back, Kotter", a hybrid of the 1970s sitcom, Welcome Back, Kotter and Tarantino's film Reservoir Dogs.
• Tarantino directed the season 1, episode 24, of ER titled "Motherhood", that aired May 11, 1995.
• In 1997, Tarantino was originally slated to direct the The X-Files episode, "Never Again" (episode 4x13, which originally aired February 2, 1997), but was prevented from doing so by the Directors Guild of America. The episode features Scully heading to Philadelphia, while Mulder is on vacation, to interview a man who claims his tattoo talks to him. Although the episode was written specifically for Tarantino to direct, the DGA contended that Tarantino, who is not a member, failed to compensate the union for lost revenue as a result of his directorial work on ER.^[2]
• Tarantino directed an April 20, 2004 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
• Tarantino earned an Emmy nomination for directing the fifth season finale of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, which first aired May 19, 2005. The highly rated episode, entitled "Grave Danger", shared a similar situation to one in Tarantino's second Kill Bill film; CSI Nick Stokes is captured and buried alive in a Plexiglas coffin while an Internet camera broadcasts the entire ordeal to CSI headquarters. (In Kill Bill Vol. 2, The Bride was also captured and buried alive in a coffin.) The broadcast was delayed in the UK as the broadcast date coincided with the 7/7 terrorist attacks in London and it was felt that the depiction of a suicide bomber could cause offense. This double-length episode was released on DVD on October 10, 2005.
