Casting Coulda Beens - Good or Bad?

wasn't chevy chase offered the lead role in american beauty?

his one chance at a comeback, or at least some respect, and he turned it down.

actually this one from the list cracked me up

Did Smith think Garafalo would be any less of a primadonna? HA!

Christopher Lee has appeared in more films than any other actor , he's in the Guiness Book of World Records . Christopher Walken has said in interviews he isn't very selective in what he appears in , he just really likes to work .

According to Smith, Garafalo was MUCH easier to work with. Listen to the comentary on the Dogma Special Edition disc sometime.

I like miss Garafolo, but I just couldn't see her having that conversation with Bartleby in the dining car. There needed to be some kind of believable sexual tension, and I can only picture sexual tension between her and Ben Stiller.

Although the Jay and Silent Bob stuff would have been hilarious with her.

hah tom selleck as indiana jones would have blew hard

David Bowie totally should have been Elrond. Aside from being distracting, Agent Smith wasn't beautiful enough.

Good actor or not, Walken would have been all wrong for that role. Also, while I think some of his work is excellent he has had many performances bad enough to be in a Star Wars movie. He is IMHO very uneven and inconsistent. Sometimes brilliant. Sometimes shit.
