There have been several stars who were one-hit wonders with the iconic filmmaker, including several big names. Here are some of the actors who only ever worked with the director who revolutionised independent cinema just once.

Will Smith never even got to work with the great director on screen, but he was seriously considered at one time to play the protagonist in Django Unchained. He was approached to perform the lead role, but after discussions, the hiring never went ahead.

The collaboration reportedly died due to the different visions of the actor and the director. According to the YouTube channel Backstage Whispers, both men saw Django in a different light. Jamie Fox ended up nailing the role with a raw performance after the official reason Smith did not get involved was due to scheduling conflicts.

As per the channel, it claimed: "Tarantino wanted discomfort, violence, and moral ambiguity. Smith wanted a redemptive arc, but neither man was willing to compromise, and the deal died right there."

In the 1990s, Bruce Willis was the ultimate Hollywood tough guy and a huge star thanks to the Die Hard franchise. The action hero wanted clear motivations and straightforward explanations while working on the set of 1994's Pulp Fiction. Willis reportedly wanted to know what his character was thinking in every moment, but Tarantino doesn't like to spoon-feed actors.

Willis was a big fan of Reservoir Dogs and, after attending a gathering with producer Harvey Weinstein, expressed interest in working with Tarantino.

But things took a turn. Farout magazine reported what Willis said in an interview regarding The Expendables 2 in 2012: "Few people will work with him now, and I know I will never work with him again. It was a great crew, but a screaming director does not make for a pleasant set experience. But look, we were all big boys, and we got through it".

Willis clashed with the director on the set of Pulp Fiction as Tarantino pushed back and the atmosphere got heated at times, according to Willis. They managed to finish a film that became one of the best ever made, but the two have not worked together since.
