What is the worst career decision an actor has ever made?

[Ain't That Something]

Turned it down....so he could star in Wild Wild West.

Will as Neo would have made that movie even more legendary.

Can't see anyone but Keanu Reeves in that role. I think it fit him perfectly. Will has to much charisma for that character IMO

Good one, I mean his career turned out well and is still going strong, but he did fukking Wild Wild West instead

and his career has been fine but i'm still mad leo turned down boogie nights

i think WOWs was him trying to make amends

Sean Connery passing on Lord of the Rings

The former James Bond actor was offered the part of Gandalf in Peter Jackson's adaptation of Tolkien's fantasy trilogy, which eventually went to Ian McKellen, but turned it down despite being offered $6million per film.

To add insult to injury, Connery was also tempted to join the cast with a 15% stake in the film franchise's box office profits, meaning the 82-year-old actor lost out on a potential multi-million payday.

He stopped acting so he could focus on eating. My nikka Howard's agent must be Pete Carroll.

Not necessary an actor but Brian Dunkleman not signing that contract after season 1 of American Idol.... Ryan Seacrest has been balling out of control ever since
