This. One of my all time favorite characters and it was because of Harrison Ford. It'd be cool if we could still see these movies with these guys getting the role. Jim Carrey would've made an interesting Sparrow, but Johnny Depp was perfect for that role.

Eddie Murphy passed on Rush Hour to do Holy Man... whoops.

An all-timer to me is Stallone passing on Beverly Hills Cop and Eddie Murphy taking the role, but the best is still James Cameron considering OJ as the Terminator then deciding against it because he didn't think people would believe him as a soulless killer.

They re-wrote it and im sure Eddie did a ton of his improv riff stuff. It probably would have been more serious with Stallone obviously.

ROFL

Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly

Stallone would have absolutely SUCKED as Axel Foley, that role went exactly the way it should have.

There's no way Back to the Future would have been a trilogy with Eric Stoltz. Don't get me wrong he was a good 80's actor but it would have gone down as just another 80's classic. Plus he used to be in movies with Lea Thompson all the time, thats probably how he originally got the role.

In the trivia section on John Cusacks page it said he was originally casted as John Bender in The Breakfast Club but John Hughes changed it at the last minute. Hes one of my fav actors of all time but they made the right choice to go with Judd Nelson. If you've seen the early 80's movie Class Cusack kind of played a badass so i could see him as Bender but it wouldn't have been the same, what do you guys think?

Lesson learned is don't piss off Dane. I've heard guys lose roles for shit talking Kip Winger.

Who else can't forget Tom F'n Selleck was first choice for Indiana Jones

Tom Cruise as Iron Man?!! Yiikes!
