Page "Tom Waits" Paragraph 36

At this time, Waits made a return to acting after a five-year break, marked at first by the re-release of his 1993 Jim Jarmusch-directed short Coffee and Cigarettes: Somewhere in California, costarring Iggy Pop, compiled in Coffee and Cigarettes.

In 2005, Waits appeared in the Tony Scott film Domino as a soothsayer.

In the same year, Waits appeared as himself in Roberto Benigni's romantic comedy La Tigre e la Neve, set in occupied Baghdad during the Iraq War.

In the movie, Waits appears in a dream scene as himself, singing the ballad " You Can Never Hold Back Spring " and accompanying himself at the piano.
