22 Iconic Roles That Were Almost Played by Different Actors
Nathan Johnson Published 06/05/2020
It's funny to think how the actors who end up playing certain can roles end up influencing our memory of those characters more than anything else. Because who else could have played Spider-Man but Tobey Maguire? All other Spider-Men are simply irrelevant.
What's one movie role you could never see played by a different actor? It's probably Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 3, right? The best of all Spider-Man movies. Better than Pulp Fiction, many would argue.
Or maybe you're more of a Tim Allen Santa Clause purist. Which makes sense, because the only other guy who could play Santa Claus would be the real Santa Claus himself.
Anyway, just a reminder that a lot of these casting decisions are kinda random and it's weird that they have such lasting effects in our memories.
