Actors That Turned Down Blockbuster Movies
Actors that play now iconic roles often weren't the first choices, or second, or even third. Rather, there are some actors that are the Hollywood go to's, the ones that always get the first chance at a role. In this video, I take a look at the actors that ought to be famous for turning down famous roles as much as their acting ability.
00:00 Iconic Actors Rejected Iconic Roles
00:33 Leonardo DiCaprio
03:52 Will Smith
07:29 Matt Damon
09:24 Sean Connery
12:38 Clint Eastwood
15:48 Harrison Ford

Wokeness is toxic. Nobody wants your woke crap anymore, and you are going to kill your channel worse than these people's careers if you keep pushing that toxic BS.

    I saw The Phantom Menace 25th Anniversary re-release this year and I still love the film and the prequels. I know they have their detractors, but watching the Prequel and Original trilogies back to back shows a coherent story from beginning to end. Overall, it’s amazing just to see how many directors make a big comeback after having various films that don’t do well back to back to then being on top again or perhaps be in a situation like George Lucas where he took a long break from directing a film before he went back in the directors chair and made three ground breaking films on a technological level that further helped break more boundaries in film from visual effects to making films shot digitally. And while he did have a lot of input on Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi to the point where those films were done like a TV with the Executive Producer being in charge of the production, so while he may not have been listed as a director, he was on set of those films a lot and so his fingerprints are on those films just as much as the four Star Wars films he did direct. While he may not think much of himself as a director, I think he’s an excellent director, especially with the visuals all his films have. He’s one of the best visual storytellers that has ever lived and his films always have a unique look to them. Great video man, keep up the great work!

    George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are fantastic filmmakers. I remember George saying after Star Wars people wanted to make science fiction films with just a lot of lasers and space ships with little to no plot, whereas Star Wars has a plot and characters that you care about, but those in charge of approving of such films didn’t understand what made Star Wars a success. Both Jaws and Star Wars are masterpieces and the impact they’ve had on film and pop culture is still around today. Great video man.

    o4:55min.s - I was quite surprised that it received such poor reviews despite the fact that I completely agree with them. The film is yet another white-washing of the actual history of Kemet (what you call Egypt), and the c.g.i. is beyond ridiculous. This is one of those films that makes me wonder how c.g.i. seems to have digressed since the *'the Lord of the Rings'* trilogy. I'll take *'the Prince of Egypt',* any day. *[Edit]* o5:21min.s - The argument that you use, here, to dispense of the backlash that the film received for its almost all-w.t cast seems to be identical to the one used to defend Disney's *'the Little Mermaid'* live action film. It's just so funny to hear people use these arguments when they're suitable for their stances.🤔 o6:39min.s - I love *'Last Action Hero'!* 11:39min.s - You mean the movie that I'm watching today, 'Mouse Hunt'-one of my favourite films of all time!

      A New Hope has this sort of strange feeling when viewing it with the previous films in mind, it helps reset the speed of the saga after the climactic ending for Revenge Of The Sith, like a breath of fresh air. Also Obi Wan finally encountering Vader after Mustafar makes that scene even better in my eyes.

    Never been his strong suit? NEVER been his strong suit?!?! I will agree that George DID go overboard with the green screens in the prequels. Because even now ALREADY, they are starting to look like shit. But George directed one of the most successful movies EVER made. Studio had such little faith in him and his dream they gave him 100% merchandising rights. 100%!!
