His character in Inglourious Basterds (2009) was originally a much larger part in the film, actually being one of the primary members of the Basterds. However, his part was cut considerably smaller in the final edit. While in the script he was involved and speaking throughout entire scenes, in the final cut of the film his character has only one line and (somewhat famously) disappears before the end.
