Quentin Tarantino will be crowned an “honorary Texan” during the 10th annual Texas Film Hall of Fame Awards on March 11 at Austin Studios.
Tarantino joins fellow inductees Michael Nesmith -- a Houston native, film producer and former member of the Monkees -- who will receive the Warren Skaaren Lifetime Achievement Award, and San Antonio-born actor Bruce McGill, who played D-Day in “Animal House,” as well as co-starring in “Silkwood,” “Courage Under Fire” and “The Insider.”
