Who both wrote and starred in the 1996 movie "From Dusk Till Dawn"?

"From Dusk till Dawn" is a 1996 American action horror film directed by Robert Rodriguez and written by Quentin Tarantino. It stars George Clooney, Tarantino, Harvey Keitel and Juliette Lewis. After enjoying modest success at the box office, it has since become a cult film. The film was conceived by Robert Kurtzman who hired Tarantino to write the script as his first paid writing assignment.

"From Dusk till Dawn" employed a non-union production crew, which is unusual for a production with a budget above $15 million. It had its world premiere on January 17, 1996. On its first week, the film grossed $10,240,805 in the United States making it the highest-grossing film of the week. The next week, the film fell to third highest in the box office where it grossed $4,851,921 being beaten by "Mr. Holland's Opus" and "Bed of Roses". "From Dusk till Dawn" earned a total of $25,836,616 on its theatrical release.

A video game of the same name was released in 2001. It is based on events that transpire directly after the end of the film. "From Dusk till Dawn" was followed by two direct-to-video prequels, "From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money" and "From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter". They were both received poorly by critics. In late 2010, it was reported that a possible fourth film in the series may be produced.
