Chaz Palminteri and Ray Liotta as Tony Soprano



He would've been great. Better than James Gandolfini.

Gene Hackman auditioned for:

Mr. Robinson in The Graduate
Mr. Brady in The Brady Bunch
Hannibal Lector in The Silence of the Lambs
Deputy Gerard in The Fugitive


He would've been good in that.

Kill Bill - Warren Beatty as Bill


This would've been better. Much better actor than David Carridine.

Matthew Broderick as Walter White.


He would've been a much better choice. He would've transformed much better into Heisenburg than the other guy. He would've brought more complexity to the role.

Not caught up with the thread, but here's a few I've always heard. Some may be duplicated already:

Han Solo - Christopher Walken/ Nick Nolte/ Burt Reynolds

Princess Leia - Cissy Spacek

Carrie White (Carrie) - Carrie Fisher

Shrek - Chris Farley

Vivian Ward (Pretty Woman) - Molly Ringwald

Black Widow - Emily Blunt


He would've been excellent as Han Solo. Better than Ford for sure.

Will Smith and Sandra Bollock as Neo.

Sarah Michelle Gellar in Clueless.

Sean Connery as Gandalf.

Travolta as Forrest Gump

Burt Renyolds and Hugh Jackman as James Bond

Al Pacino as Han Solo.



Those would've been better choices.
I could see Jackman as Bond, but I prefer Ian McKellen as Gandalf.

Connery would have been "Connery playing a wizard". McKellen basically vanished, and became Gandalf.

John Candy in Ghostbusters would have made that movie even more iconic.


idk I think Rick Moranis was perfect in that movie.

Eddie would have changed it. I know the part got way cut down when he wasn’t able to do it.

As he should have. RDJ was extremely likable in that role. Iconic even.

Rockwell is a phenomenal actor in his own right. Ever since his Billy the Kid/Wild Bill character in The Green Mile, I have been a huge fan. Despite that character being a world class creep ha.
