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.

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.

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

#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.
