John Travolta<\/strong><\/a>‘s proving financial know-how can pay off big … claiming he looked over Quentin Tarantino<\/strong><\/a>‘s finances when they first met — and it changed his career.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The legendary actor told the story during Turner Classic Movies’ recent event celebrating the 30th anniversary of the cult classic … with Travolta joined by Samuel L. Jackson<\/strong><\/a>, Uma Thurman<\/strong><\/a>, Tarantino<\/strong><\/a> and more at the event.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As JT explains \u00a0… his agent told him QT was a big fan and wanted to meet with him, and John decided to head over to Quentin’s place for the big first impression.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

The day got off to a pretty weird start … John says he knocked on the front door and realized he used to live in Quentin’s apartment — perfectly describing the pad’s layout.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

From there, the two played board games based on Travolta’s iconic film roles … and Tarantino asked him to drop random lines like his characters from the flicks during the game. Another pretty out there request.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Before making a decision on whether he wanted to work with Tarantino, Travolta asked to look over his ledgers … and, he say they chatted about money for a bit.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Welp, turns it out it was the right move … ’cause Quentin called days later and offered him the Vincent Vega part in the film.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

John says when he asked why Tarantino wanted him for the role, Quentin said it’s because of the philosophical way he ruminated over the finances … displaying characteristics he wanted in the Vega character.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

BTW … many people credit ‘Pulp’ for energizing Travolta’s career. The dude made some pretty bad movies in the late ’80s\/early ’90s, and it sorta seemed like his star might wane at the time before “Pulp Fiction” put him back in A-List status.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Moral of the story … sometimes balancing a checkbook can lead to a heck of a lot more!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
