Speaking to Bill Maher on a recent episode of his Club Random podcast, Tarantino claimed that actors have a responsibility while filming with guns, an opinion that pointedly dissents from what the Screen Actors Guild has maintained in the past regarding Baldwin’s case.
The Once Upon A Time In Hollywood director disagreed with Maher’s point that Baldwin’s case was “bullshit.”
“No. It’s a situation, I think — I’m being fair enough to say that the armorer, the guy who handles the gun, an armorer is 90% responsible for everything that happens when it comes to that gun,” Tarantino said. “But, but, but, but, but, but, the actor is 10% responsible. The actor is 10% responsible. It’s a gun. You are a partner in the responsibility to some degree.”
