#1 Will Smith Turned Down The Role Of Neo In The Matrix
Keanu Reeves played Neo in the 1999 sci-fi tentpole “The Matrix,” and became A-list practically overnight. However, that’s all because another young, famous actor turned the role down. Will Smith was offered the role, but turned it down to work on “Wild Wild West” instead. In retrospect, this may not have been the best idea.
For some small-time actors, missing out on these dynamite roles could have spelled the end of their careers. While these 12 actors are doing just fine, they could likely have a few extra million in their bank account. Also, the possibility that some of them could have taken some major awards for these missed roles is high. If these actors would have taken these roles when they were offered to them, we would also be without a few of the best performances of all time. I mean, can you imagine anyone other than Tom Hanks playing Forrest Gump? We sure can’t.
