Tim Roth got his start playing thugs and murderers. One of his first roles was as a skinhead in the BBC made-for-television movie Made in Britain. Since then, ROTH has been drawn to independent films where he can exploit his formidable range as an actor. He has demonstrated the depth of his talent in films such as Robert Altman's Vincent and Theo (1990), where he delivered a tour-de-force performance as artist Vincent Van Gogh. That same year, he proved his comic mettle in Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1990). In 1992, Roth came to the United States where he continued to display his penchant for independent productions. In Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992) Roth pushed himself to the limit as Mr. Orange, an undercover cop who infiltrated a band of gangsters. Two years later, he worked with Tarantino again in Pulp Fiction (1994). Roth turned up in his first big Hollywood project opposite Liam Neeson and Jessica Lang in Rob Roy (1995). For his role as Archibald Cunningham in this Michael Caton Jones film he received an Oscar nomination and the prize for Best Supporting Actor at the British Academy Awards. Roth has also had the chance to play a number of perfidious characters in period films such as Roland Joffé's Vatel, and Peter Hyam's The Musketeer.

His character : William Pitt
The visionary and uncompromising William Pitt became the British prime-minister in 1757. At the time, France was preoccupied with the war against Europe and was investing little in defending its over seas colonies. Pitt exploited this opportunity to defeat the French forces. As prime minister he was unflinching in his determination to revive British national pride and secure his country's empire by driving the French out of North America.
