If they had gone with Dana Delaney instead of Sarah Jessica Parker, I would've watched every damn episode of Sex in the City, and the movie.

Who: Lindsay LohanRole: RollergirlMovie: "Boogie Nights"In an ironic twist of fate, Lohan campaigned for the part of Rollergirl in "Boogie Nights" but then turned it down because—get this—the script "had no potential." The role went to Heather Graham, and the movie became a huge success.
She was fricking 11 when Boogie Nights came out.

As iconic as Hopkin's portrayal of Hannibal has become, I can see Jeremy Irons making it just as iconic. He would have been outstanding.

I agree.

Thomas Jane was also Frank Darabont's first choice for Rick Grimes.

There are so very few on these lists that I could fathom being in those roles, much less being better than the ones destined to grace those roles.
I agree, Jeremy Irons could have given him a run for his money as Hannibal.

Still would have at least liked to have seen Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones. I think he could have pulled it off. He could still be playing him too - he hasn't aged as bad as Harrison Ford.

Boogie nights would have been a much darker movie if Lindsey Lohan had played Roller Girl. Don't know if American audiences would have embraced that twist.

Same here.
I agree with Harrison Ford on his reason for turning down Schindlers List.
quote:
"Schindler's List"Ford was offered the role of German industrialist and Nazi member Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's 1993 epic, but reportedly turned it down because he felt viewers wouldn't be able to look past him as a "star" to see the importance of the film. Instead, the role went to Liam Neeson.

Could never picture Al Pacino as Han Solo; Harrison Ford was made for that role. Same with Cusack as Walter White; Cranston was amazing.

I heard Dougray Scott was the original choice for Wolverine a long time ago and I think he would've been way darker and better.

He turned it down for MI2.

Some of those could have been done and some would have been a disaster

#1 I hate slideshows, and 53 clicks is a lot.
#2 When I saw Boogie nights and Lohan I knew it was all bullshite.
That movie came out in 1997, while Lohan was still a child star.

I think they mixed up the movie; Lohan was originally supposed to play Heather Graham's character in The Hangover, but declined.
