Austin Butler is almost unrecognizable in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, playing one of the movie's final antagonists.
Before Austin Butler gained international recognition for his lead role in Elvis, he appeared in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Quentin Tarantino's movie takes place in 1969, at the peak of Hollywood's golden era, and follows two men who are the opposite of each other trying to survive in the ever-changing film industry: Rich Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is a movie star falling to oblivion, while Cliff Booth is an ill-tempered stuntman who acts as Dalton's chauffeur.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY What Once Upon a Time in Hollywood does best is play with the idiosyncrasies of a decade through characters both fictional and real. Rick Dalton is based on many real-life actors of that decade, while Sharon Tate, an iconic real-life actress, represents kindness and innocence in times ravaged by violence and war.
Tex Watson was one of the Manson followers involved in the murders of Sharon Tate and friends, plus her unborn child, in cold blood at her home in Benedict Canyon. In the movie, Tex is one of the four cult members sent to murder the inhabitants of Tate's home, which happens to be next door to Rick's. Tex and the others recognize Cliff there and decide to attack him instead.
Tarantino Alters History With Watson's Fate In The Movie Austin Butler's Tex is clearly a fictional version of Tex Watson. Although he gets Manson's cult and the attack right, Tarantino alters history by changing Sharon Tate's fate. In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the attackers never kill anyone because they're stopped by Cliff and Rick, indirectly saving Sharon, her baby, and all her friends from their unfair fate.
It's easy to miss Butler on a first watch because he is pretty much unrecognizable as Tex. Different from his sophisticated role as Elvis Presley, he looks dirty and unkempt. Tex is a small role, but Butler takes the assignment seriously, delivering a great performance by capturing the fear in Tex's eyes: although the words he spits out are threatening, his lack of experience is perceptible in every movement.
