The character Freddy Newandyke, played by Tim Roth is a direct translation to a typical Dutch last name, Nieuwendijk. The code name of Tim Roth is Mr. Orange, the royal color of Holland, and the last name of the royal family.

- His films will often include one long, unbroken take where a character is followed around somewhere.
- Often casts comedians in small roles: 'Stephen Wright' as the DJ in RESERVOIR DOGS (1992), Kathy Griffin as an accident witness and Julia Sweeney as the junkyard guy's daughter in PULP FICTION (1994) , 'Chris Tucker' as Beaumont in JACKIE BROWN (1997).
