I just learned this morning about roles that Burt Reynolds passed up on and holy poo poo. How different would pop culture be – indeed the world – if we had gotten ANY of the following:

Han Solo (!)
Micheal Corleone
James Bond
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (McMurphy)
Die Hard (McClane)

Half off these sound like SNL skits

Reynolds also could've been in Terms of Endearment. The movie was based on a book but the screenwriter created a new character specifically for Reynolds to play, but he turned it down to do another movie. The role went to Jack Nicholson, who won an Oscar for it. And the movie Reynolds did instead? Stroker Ace.
