Kevin Costner was supposed to play Andy in Shawshank Redemption. But was caught up in a production nightmare in Waterworld.

All would work.
John Candy in Ghostbusters would have made that movie even more iconic. Eddie Murphy in the reboot franchise would be nice. Tom Selleck absolutely could have played Indiana. Maybe not has popular, but it would have been good.

He turned down the role as Neo in The Matrix for Wild Wild West

Stuart Townsend as Aragorn (LotR trilogy)

So crazy to think about the Lord of the Rings. That cast was perfect
Also seeing Tom Selleck in test shoots dressed as Indiana Jones just isn’t right.

Watched the documentary and it’s nuts how that went down. They filmed 6 weeks and Zemeckis just said it’s not working and he’s playing Marty too seriously because he was a method actor and was being too dramatic.
Hats off to Zemeckis for going to the studio saying he can’t do it anymore and asking to replace the lead actor 6 weeks into filming. Spielberg threw his weight around and the studios reluctantly said ok.
Can’t imagine anyone but MJF

She was my first big hollywood crush so I would've loved to see her Cher.
