I've been a fan of August's for a little over ten years, and Hellstrom is one of his most gleefully reprehensible characters he's played (usually, it seems, he plays angsty and self-destructive). The tavern scene is where he really shines for me, because his acting is both outrageous and subtle, with the way he looks at Bridget and the contempt he has for Archie.

Here's a link to the script: http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/Inglourious-Basterds.html

I like it for all the changes Quentin made to certain scenes and characters. I primarily tracked it down after all his raving over Daniel and Melanie and their chemistry. He pretty much cut down Marcel's role and threw him out the window because of it. Overall, it seems, Tarantino allowed for the actors to show more than tell their characters.
