Jack Woltz

It was purchased by actor John Marley, best known for his role in The Godfather.

Marley played Jack Waltz, a powerful Hollywood producer who refuses to cast a singer favored by the Corleone family.

And in the legendary scene, Waltz awakens to find the severed head of a surprised horse in his bed.

Oh, fucking that guy.

At the five families meeting, there are oranges on the table, foreshadowing their eventual deaths.

There's even an orange at Jack Waltz's table when he has dinner with Tom Hagen.

That's crazy.

There was also a big gift basket of oranges when he was recovering at home too.

It's kind of the kind of double-edged sword that we never would have thought about when we were like in the Valley, where if you showed us and, and no one would say like, you know, let's go back to 2009.

Like it's like, you know dog that caught the car like my steak too juicy my you know like yeah but like it is kind of the like you know they're you know in in the valley they were you know the most well resourced program by the late altman years and um you know just things that we you know never would have kind of you know thought of as this is You know, not that it has to be like now that we have to be like Jack Waltz or anything and not that I think they are 100 percent or anything, but just different, just kind of a different reality that I think that, you know, we wouldn't have wouldn't have guessed, but also like would have happily accepted if we compared to 10 years ago.

but well, I guess 10 years ago we were in the big East now, but 20 years ago.

Yeah.

The guy's in the movie for two minutes.

This is on the level of Jack Waltz.

This is Jack Walt's level of acting and dedication.

No, because Jack Walt's fucking overacted.

But the source material's depiction of Hollywood completely flips the moral dynamic of one of cinema's most iconic moments.

We are, of course, talking about Jack Woltz, the incredibly powerful studio executive.

The horse head guy.

Exactly.

Woltz wakes up in his palatial bedroom, throws back his blood-soaked silk sheets, and screams as he finds the severed head of Khartoum, his prized million-dollar racehorse.

It is iconic.

In the film, Jack Woltz is portrayed as arrogant, combative, and bigoted.

He uses slurs against Italian Americans.

Yeah.

Jack Waltz.

The big one is, I know we were all big fans of Landman and Jacob Laughlin.

So Billy Bob Thornton's son on that show, who has been awesome and really kind of gotten a backbone on him and really doing great things.

Like, he's in there, he's on fire, and he's like, I'm out.

Almost as big as Jack Waltz.

When he pushes McLovin in the kitchen and McLovin screams.

And then he fucking wipes out, smacks the back of his head on fucking hard tile.
