What knowledge do you have of actors/actresses who had to turn down lead roles because of other commitments or issues?
I know that Tom Selleck turned down the lead for Raiders of the Lost Ark because he was obligated and tied to the TV series "Magnum"
Also, Veronica Cartwright was supposed to potray Ripley in "Alien" before a casting change was made.
And wasn't Jean Claude Van-Damme supposed to play the predator in "Predator".
Please, discuss.
