by Quentin Tarantino Django Unchained contains a lot of memorable moments and one of those moments involves an appearance from Jonah Hill. The cameo is absolutely unexpected and is one of the funniest scenes in this Tarantino movie. However, Hill almost had a larger role that would have made him an even meaner character.

Jonah Hill appears in a cameo appearance in ‘Django Unchained’

In Django Unchained, Hill is listed as Bag Head #2. He and many others are recruited by Big Daddy (Don Johnson) to participate in a raid to kill Django (Jamie Foxx) and Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Although the Ku Klux Klan had not yet been formed at the time the film is set, this group is very similar as they wear white hoods, carry torches, and spit racial slurs.

The scene is a comedy of gold as the group begins to realize that their hoods don’t contain large enough eye holes, so it’s nearly impossible to see. Hill plays one of the raid members who bickers over whether to carry the bags or not. It’s a hilarious scene as the group grows increasingly frustrated with the masks.

While the sequence is hilarious, it’s disappointing that an actor like Hill only made a brief appearance. According to Which Culture, the Don’t look up the actor almost took on a larger role in Django Unchained.

Hill was originally set to play a character named Scotty Harmony. Scotty is said to be the son of wealthy slave owners who buy Django’s wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), so she can become Scotty’s lover. This never happened because “scheduling conflicts ruined it”.

Instead, Django and Dr. Schultz travel to Candyland to find Broomhilda who belongs to the ruthless Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). While seeing Hill as a central villain would have been interesting, DiCaprio gives a fantastic performance, making Candie a menacing antagonist for our heroes.

The ‘Superbad’ star always loved working with Quentin Tarantino, even for just one scene

Tarantino is a director many actors want to work with and Hill is no different. In a 2012 interview with MTV, Hill talked about his admiration for Tarantino and why he was disappointed to only have one scene in Django Unchained. However, he said his love for Christopher Walken’s scene in pulp Fiction eventually led to him shooting his cameo.

“As an actor, you worry, ‘Is it weird for me to do a scene in a movie?'” Hill said. “When I take my balaclava off, I feel like people are going, ‘Oh.’ You recognize that I wasn’t in the rest of the movie, then all of a sudden in the movie, then I thought of the Christopher Walken scene in pulp Fiction. It’s one of my favorite parts of a scene, if not my favorite, so if there was ever a director to do that for, it’s Quentin. [It’s] not like there was a choice in my head to do it or not.

Django Unchained is currently streaming on Netflix.
