ChristophWaltzCannesMay09If you saw Inglourious Basterds, then you understand why everyone in Hollywood is raving about Christoph Waltz performance as the Nazi colonel, which he won the best actor award at Cannes.

So it’s no surprise that Waltz is set to play the villain in Columbia Pictures’ action-comedy The Green Hornet.   The Austrian actor is stepping in where Nicolas Cage stepped out last week when a contract didn’t materialize as need to maintain the original casting choice.
