I’m sure DiCaprio would’ve killed it as Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights, but all things considered glad Marky Mark got the role.

Daniel Day Lewis turned down the role of Morpheus because he couldn't understand it.

He turned down the role of Gandalf. They offered him $30M plus 15% of the box office

Yo you KNOW you're done acting when you turn down that kind of money

He said he didn’t get it. 15% off the trilogy’s box office is $447M.

Marky mark pulled it off better because he's a bad actor naturally so he fit the role perfectly.

One of the more fukked up ones, Ashley Judd was supposed to play Arwen in the LotR trilogy but Weinstein had been badmouthing her to producers because she wouldn't fukk him. When you think about it, she made way more sense because she was more mature than Liv Tyler.

I always thought it was ironic that James Caan was originally cast as Michael Corleone

Jake Gyllenhaal was almost a lock for the Charlie Conway role in The Mighty Ducks movie but his parents didn't allow it because he'd miss too much of school.

Speaking of Jake Gyllenhall, I think he was on the shortlist to play Spider-Man in the Sam Raimi movies

This one is kinda morbid
Actress Rebecca Schaffer was in the running for Mary Corleone in The Godfather 3.
She was murdered the day she was supposed to meet Francis Ford Coppola to discuss the role
