HOSTEL Mastermind Eli Roth To Play Sgt. Donowitz In Quentin Tarantino's INGLORIOUS BASTARDS!!

I am – Hercules!!


Eli Roth, writer-director of both "Hostel" movies, is the first man officially cast in Quentin Tarantino’s World War II epic "Inglorious Bastards." He’ll play New Yorker Donnie Donowitz, the member of Aldo Raine's crew who lives to punish frail Nazi bodies with his signature baseball bat.

Roth has acted for Tarantino before, having played an Austin bar patron in "Death Proof."
