Top 10 Actors Who Refused Big Movie Roles

The Top Ten

1 The Godfather (Jack Nicholson as Michael Corleone)

2 Gladiator (Mel Gibson as Maximus)

3 Forrest Gump (John Travolta as Forrest Gump)

4 The Silence of the Lambs (Michelle Pfeiffer as Clarice Starling)

5 The Matrix (Will Smith as Neo)

6 Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Johnny Depp as Ferris Bueller)

7 Se7en (Denzel Washington as Michael Clayton)

8 The Lord of the Rings (Sean Connery as Gandalf)

I bet Sean Connery really regrets passing on Lord of the rings in favor of that train wreck that was The League of Extrodanory Gentleman.

9 Avatar (Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal as Jake Sully)

10 The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (Charles Bronson as the Man with No Name)

The Contenders

11 The Shining (Robin Williams as Jack Torrance)

That would have been nonsensical. Never would have pulled it off.
