Hotel California - video powered by Metacafe
Jesus Quintanta, according to Wikipedia:
This eccentric, Latino, trash-talking North Hollywood resident speaks with a thick Hispanic accent, and often refers to himself in the third person, insisting on the English pronunciation of his name (GEE-zus) rather than the Spanish (Hehh-ZOOS). Turturro originally thought that he was going to have a bigger role in the film but when he read the script, he realized that it was much smaller. However, the Coen brothers let him come up with a lot of his own ideas for the character, like shining the bowling ball and the scene where he dances backwards, which he says was inspired by Muhammad Ali .The Gipsy Kings' flamenco cover version of Hotel California suits the GEE-zus to a tee, and Turturro, as is always the case, just nails the performance -- one of my favorite actors of the past 20 years.
