Pulp Fiction (1994) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
Apr 19, 2019 · Pulp Fiction was a groundbreaking event back in 1994 and made Quentin Tarantino a household name. Here's a breakdown of the main characters and cast.
- Senior Staff Writer
- Katie Rife
- Samuel L. Jackson (Jules Winnfield) Although he'd been working on and off as an actor since the early '70s, Samuel L. Jackson's career didn't really start to take off until the late '80s and early '90s.
- John Travolta (Vincent Vega) Unlike Samuel L. Jackson, John Travolta had seen his name on marquees long before he took the role of Jules' wisecracking partner Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction.
- Uma Thurman (Mia Wallace) Uma Thurman wasn't on Tarantino's initial wish list for Pulp Fiction, but the pairing ended up being an advantageous one. Not only did the film nab Thurman her first (and, thus far, only) Oscar nomination, but between takes on the set, Thurman and Tarantino started talking through a story that would eventually become the epic Kill Bill — Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill — Vol. 2 (2004).
- Bruce Willis (Butch Coolidge) Bruce Willis was already a well-known action hero (thanks to 1988's Die Hard) and a TV star (via Moonlighting) when he signed on to play Butch, the aging boxer who doesn’t have much more fight left in him, in Pulp Fiction.

- John Travolta as Vincent Vega. John Travolta was, of course, already a major star when he was cast as the Francophile hitman Vincent Vega — but his career had taken a bit of a dip before his casting.
- Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield. Samuel L. Jackson was one of the few actors Tarantino actually had in mind for the spiritual, no-nonsense hitman while he was writing the screenplay, but the actor nearly blew the opportunity after Paul Calderón upstaged him in an early audition.
- Bruce Willis as Butch Coolidge. Bruce Willis was already a movie star when Pulp Fiction hit theaters in 1994, but at the time Tarantino cast him as Butch Coolidge, he was coming off a series of critical and box office failures (1993's Striking Distance, anyone?).
- Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace. It's hard to imagine anyone as Mia Wallace — the failed TV actress and wife of crime lord Marsellus Wallace — besides Uma Thurman, but the film's studio Miramax originally preferred Holly Hunter or Meg Ryan for the iconic role.
