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

Hard to imagine Costner as a guy who would get arse-raped.

The Office casting is pretty interesting.
Bob Odenkirk, Nick Offerman, and Alan Tudyk Auditioned For Michael Scott
Kathryn Hahn Auditioned For Pam Beesly
Seth Rogen and Patton Oswalt Auditioned For Dwight Schrute
John Cho and Adam Scott Auditioned For Jim Halpert
Eric Stonestreet Auditioned For Kevin Malone

Also, Annie in Community was originally supposed to be Asian, hence the meta of this image.
