Casting is a key ingredient in the secret sauce of great filmmaking. In the best cases, a certain performer filling a certain character’s shoes can turn a part into a franchise-leading phenomenon. But the real magic is in synergy, when several actors click; there’s no X-Files without David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, and what would the original Star Wars movies have been without Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford together? But sometimes an actor’s got to go. It’s awful for the would-be star who watches the role end up becoming part of a massive hit while their replacement reaps the rewards — and it’s just as bad for the actors who willfully walk away from the role of a lifetime, never to be heard from again…

What other casting replacements should've made this list?
Looper is like a YouTube virus. Horrible video editing that constantly reuses the same clips and content in video after video. How the hell is it that no matter how many videos I dislike, no matter how hard I try I can't get this stupid content out of my friggin feed??? The only thing worse than this are those lame automated, computer-voiced videos that are clearly just reading off the top news and google search feeds with automatically generated pictures…. Actually.. I take that back, Looper is worse!
1 MILLION THUMBS DOWN for this entire channel!
Actually Michael J Fox was originally cast in Back to the Future, had to drop out because of Family Ties obligations… the producers didn’t like Stoltz so Fox worked days on Family Ties and nights on Back to the Future
to be fair, Fox is a shite actress….
This assumes the original casting choices would have been as good of a fit. Casting is important both for the character and the actor. There's no assurance that an actor that a director likes for a role won't suck at it
On the Transformers dvd commentary Micheal Bay basically says Megan Fox can't act. The dramatic scenes required an excessive amount of takes because of her poor performance.
But Arnold MADE Terminator, and Tom Cruise MADE Top Gun, etc. It wouldn't have been the same thing with other actors. So this is nonsense. Matthew Modine can't think "I could've been where Tom Cruise is"… because he couldn't.. because he is no Tom Cruise.
So, if an actor didn't become world famous and rich their careers were "derailed"? By that logic, the other 99% of us regular folks have been derailed. Nah, just living regular 'ole lives, which is pretty great, thank you very much.
Not seeing a lot of Mathew Modine is fine, but we’ve seen waaaaaay too much of Tom Cruise for whatever the cause.
didnt include actress shown on tab, false.
Replaced by Emilia Clarke for undisclosed reasons? Sounds like Tamzin refused to do the nude scenes. Oops.
Ads get a dislike.
Can you imagine how awful merchant must have been to be replaced by clark??
this is a bad list. it mis-characterizes what the role did for their career. i think Tom Cruise was a big deal before Top Gun and would still probably be a big deal without it.
Michael J. Fox WAS the original choice for the role and was already a "household name" thanks to the Family Ties sitcom (which is the reason why he couldn't initially take the role). After Stoltz took over and the chemistry just wasn't there, Michael was called back and the shooting was accommodated to his busy schedule, which is one of the reasons why the movie has so many night scenes.
Viggo Mortensen was definitely not an unknown.
Jackman sucked as Wolverine!!!
Most of this is pure speculation and the little of it that is fact was common knowledge at the time.
Nice video but you messed up The Terminator story. Arnold was offered the role of Kyle Reese but during the meeting talked about how the villain should be played and the rest is history. Even Arnold didn't think it would lead to anything saying, "Oh some shit movie I'm doing, take a couple weeks." (Wikipedia is your friend)
I disagree stuart townsend is in everything from movie to tv, viggo has been typecast and hasnt had a signigicant role in a while
No point in regretting what you can't change. If you regret bringing an umbrella as it starts to pour down, you're still going to get wet.
I think Eric Stoltz would be a great marty mcfly
Rip Thorne who lost the career Jack Nicholson got.
There's no guarantee some of the actors would've been better off or that the movies would've been as successful had they kept the roles. Some of them could've just as easily made the movie worse or just not as memorable as they are now.
How did these changes derail anyone's career? The movies/shows very well may have been horrible with these actors and may never have become the successes they are today. To say their careers were derailed is nonsensical. I could just as easily say these changes saved the movies. No one knows. The only thing that is certain is the title of this video and the opinion behind it is foolish.
That said, I would have loved to have seen Pull Fiction with Michael Madsen as Vincent!
Viggo really was not an unknown actor before the LOTR. Should get your facts straight.
blonde hair and black eyebrows that why i cant watch games of thrones
