Roles they turned down!

How film history could have been well different. AOL just done a little article on roles that stars have turned down.

Jim Carrey- Offered the role of Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story
Sean Connery- Could have been Gandalf in LOTR!
Tom Selleck- Magnum could have been Indiana Jones
Sly Stallone- Hans Solo in Star Wars
O.J. Simpson- The terminator was offered him before Arnie:blink:
Gwyneth Paltrow- First choice for Rose in Titanic
Will Smith- Could have been Neo in the Matrix series

Wonder how many more big roles could have gone a different way

That Tom Selleck one was a classic.

What a great role and movie Raiders was.

Will Smith- Could have been Neo in the Matrix series

He couldn't have been anyworse than that wooden biff they did pick

 

[Blue Lou]

John Candy could have been Lewis Tully in ghostbusters, infact he had the part but he kept going on about how the character should have a pet dog so they sacked him and brought in Rick Moranis.

 

[Dylan]

I actually thought the wooden acting was perfect for the role. That, Bill & Ted and The Replacements are the only good Keanu Reeves performances.

I also liked Constantine. It may have been drug induced entertainment but I still kinda like it now.
