Kurt Russell as Crash Davis


From Bing Copilot:

Kurt Russell was initially considered for the role of Crash Davis in the baseball classic Bull Durham. However, fate took a different turn. Russell had agreed to play Crash, but when he returned from a trip out of town, Kevin Costner secured the part. Interestingly, other actors like Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford were also in the running for the role. Costner’s determination to win the part included hitting the batting cages with director Ron Shelton to showcase his commitment1. Sometimes, the game of casting is as unpredictable as a knuckleball pitch!

I don’t think Kurt plays a better Crash Davis than Costner, but this sis one I wish I could compare side by side.
