He cheerfully admits he was no one's first choice for Get Shorty and that when the script was submitted to him, "it didn't push me over the edge." He changed his mind after talking with Pulp Fiction's writer-director, Quentin Tarantino, who has become his unofficial adviser. "He said, 'Look man, what's going on here?
