- Pam Grier (Jackie Brown) An icon in the Blaxploitation genre, Pam Grier's career had dimmed by the 1990s. But Tarantino recognized the actress' ability to shine and changed the race and last name of the money-smuggling flight attendant from Elmore's book to write the screenplay specifically for Grier.
- Robert Forster (Max Cherry) As the grizzled bail bondsman tasked with tracking down the titular character, Robert Forster also experienced a career resurgence under the caring hand of Tarantino.
- Samuel L. Jackson (Ordell Robbie) Before Jackie Brown, Samuel L. Jackson and Tarantino had already struck gold three years earlier in Pulp Fiction, with Jackson's bible-quoting hitman Jules becoming an instant icon.
- Robert De Niro (Louis Gara) It's always a treat when Robert De Niro — star of The Godfather Part II (1974), Raging Bull (1980), This Boy's Life (1993), and more — takes a break from seriousness and brings a little levity to the screen.
