Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Parks filmed his own audition for Kill Bill by borrowing a camera and shooting himself reading scripture in a diner booth. Tarantino cast him on the spot without meeting.
The documentary's title references Then Came Bronson, the 1969 series that made Parks a star—and whose cancellation after one season began his decades of industry exile.
