60. Dr. King Schultz

Appearance: Django Unchained (2012)

Creator: Quentin Tarantino

Performer: Christoph Waltz

Defining moment: For showcasing his joy in the part and his dexterity with Tarantino's dialogue, Waltz recounting the origins of the name of Broomhilda - Django's wife. "It's a German legend, there's always going to be a mountain in there somewhere."

Fascinating fact: Tarantino created the part for Waltz, who stayed with him while he wrote and read the pages literally warm from the printer.
