That’s hilarious. I like reading the IMDB bios for that very reason. It always tells which roles they turned down. Like Tom Selleck turning down Indiana Jones and Alec Baldwin refusing more Jack Ryan roles (after Red October.) I can’t imagine those w/o Harrison Ford.
That's another great example. Can you imagine? As great as the first Indy Jones movie was, I can't imagine it succeeding like it did with Ford. And generally, I don't even like Ford very much. But that role was made for him. Best thing he ever did.
