A defining trait of Guy Ritchie’s early career was his willingness to make nontraditional casting choices, as he often casts musicians, athletes, media figures, and other nonprofessionals in key roles. While this was often used to help elevate a small role into something more memorable, Ritchie helped launch the careers of many stars who weren’t traditionally known for their acting abilities. Even though he was already a very popular professional footballer by the time he was cast in Snatch, Vinnie Jones’ performance in Ritchie’s brilliant second feature proved to the world that he could be a dynamic action star.Snatch ended up being the film that set him up for the many thug, gangster, and criminal roles that he would become known for.
