In The Hateful Eight, the acting of Tim Roth (before the character switch) is very similar to the acting of Christoph Waltz, his miming and his way to speak reminds Dr. King Shultz from Django Unchained.

Also the costumes are similar: enter image description here enter image description here

Have there been any specific motivations or reasons given for this? Is there even evidence that the role was originally intended for Waltz?

There's a chance that early on it could have been intended for him, but Waltz had no intention of being in the movie as he didn't want to be pigeon holed.

Like I said, a group in and of itself… You know, groupies are groupies. That’s their function. But since I’m not a groupie, I have to have something to do in the group. And if I don’t have anything to do in the group, hey… -Waltz
