Actor Tim Roth has revealed  that filmmaker Quentin Tarantino got him drunk to persuade him  to audition for "Reservoir Dogs".
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Roth recalled  how he got involved with Tarantino's directorial debut.
"Within 20 pages, I was going, 'Oh, I want to be in  this'. It's so beautifully written. It's so keenly and  intelligently written. And it's also very funny," he said of  the script.
Roth said he met Tarantino and Harvey Keitel, who was  already signed on as an actor and co-producer but despite the  duo's attempts to convince him, Roth refused to read for the  part of Mr Orange, saying he was "crap" at auditioning.
After Keitel left, Tarantino and Roth went to pub for  some drinks and, then, to a convenience store to bring more  beer back to Roth's place.
"And proceeded to read the entire script... Every part in  it about 10 times because we were hammered by then. And that's  how I got the job," the 56-year-old actor said.

Singer Miley Cyrus does not  regret her 'Wrecking Ball' days but says she is no longer the  person she was when she made the video.
The 2013 video featured Cyrus licking a sledgehammer  while swinging on a wrecking ball naked.
"I should be grateful every ... day for that song, and I  am," Cyrus, 24, said in an interview to NME Magazine.
"I think people look at things that they've done and  there is this sense of shame, or 'I wish I wouldn't have done  that'  not because I'm naked, by the way. It's because I feel  like I'm in a deeper songwriting place."
The singer feels she has outgrown the song.
"Lyrically, I'm less impressed with that song right now.  I feel like it doesn't reflect who I am now, but that's fine  because it's not supposed to. I'm sure I'll say the same thing  about this record at some point."
Cyrus' new album "Younger Now" is out on September 29.

Describing his father as a cultural revolutionary, Cooper  had told PTI in an interview in April this year, "I have  utmost amount of respect for my father. What he did was  revolutionary."
"People did not talk about something that is responsible  for all of our existence, which is sex. People found that to  be something that was dirty when my father's point of view was  that it should be celebrated," Cooper added in the exclusive  interview from LA.
