Which role was he going to do in Django?

Tarantino had a role specifically for SBC. He cut out the part when he dropped out of the movie.

Quick summary *spoiler..if you plan on reading the actual Django script/Django comic book*

SBC was going to play this slaveholder named Scotty. He ends up buying Django's wife first. He falls in love with her and they are an interracial couple or so it seemed. They travel to Calvin Candie's "Cleopatra Club" where all the white guys bring their "pretty slave girls" to have sex with. Candie notices them when they come into the club. Scotty sends her off to the bedroom to get some rest. Candie engages in a card game with Scotty. The black chick, Sheba, from the movie kisses Scotty. Candie says that will be 200 dollars. Scotty argues and says he wont pay. Candie says lets make a bet. If I win I get Broomhilda (Django's Wife). Scotty loses. Scotty is scared to go without Broomhilda. Candie then challenges him to a duel and then shoots him dead. Candie goes up to Broomhilda's room and chases out into the street. She falls face flat with mud all over her face. She looks up at Candie and he says "WELCOME TO CANDYLAND!"

That would have been awesome!

It would have actually given some back story to Django's Wife as well. fricking SBC
