10 Actors Who Got Fired From Movie Roles Of A Life Time

Yep, getting fired never hurt so bad.

I’m glad we got Viggo for Aragorn.
He did amazing and its honestly impressive that he knew nothing of Tolkien and still knocked it out of the park with his portrayal

[feck]

I don't think Harvey Keitel feels bad about being fired from Apocalypse Now . The movie was notoriously a hard movie to be a part of .

[Chocobear]

I'm so glad Viggo portrayed Aragorn. I have the same opinion in regards to the casting of Michael Biehn in the role of Hicks in "Aliens." I simply cannot imagine anyone else portraying those characters.

You totally forgot JaRule turning down fast and furious. His rap career was bigger at the time. Step in Ludacris; which we are on fast and furious 10 now.

[Priesticles]

Everything you said about Gina is just plain wrong

[alpeterson]

Uh let’s not forget that Spacey also tried to use coming out as gay to downplay and draw attention away from the sexual assault. As if going “Whoops, sorry about being rapey, I was struggling with being in the closet.” made it ok.

Thank you so much for that positive message at the end. I'm going through a rough patch right now and definitely wasn't expecting some positive and motivational words from this video. Thank you very much. Keep up the great work.

I wanna see a list of 10 actors who signed on to play a character only because their child or grandchild told them to. So far I know of two Richard Harris as Professor Dumbledore and now Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn.

[PersonalPariah]

It makes me physically uncomfortable to imagine Nicolas Cage as Aragorn.

[robvollman]

I don't understand how "House of Cards" was the role of a lifetime for Kevin Spacey. Is that even in his top 5?

[Daeduluus]

Gina got screwed because Kathleen Kennedy hated her

[trinaq]

It disturbs me that Michael Bay made Megan wear a bikini and dance under a waterfall, when she was only 15 years old, for "Bad Boys II." She tried to warn us what working for Bay entailed, but her signs were more or less ignored.

Role of a lifetime?? How did Romeo+Juliet do anything for Claire Daines' career? She faded away after it and then had to rebuilt. Was this really a role that would have done anything for Portman?

[o.c.kiddkidd]

Please, please, do not let Cage's financial motivations in taking roles the last decade make you forget that he is one of the most talented actors of his age.
Even his misses are epic in his commitment as a thespian.
The man can act.
If Hollywood can get over itself long enough to acknowledge this fact we will see him win another well deserved Oscar.

Wasn't Steve McQueen being treated for cancer when Apocalypse Now was filing? Kind of an important detail to over look.

[claymccoy]

The Mandalorian and Empire are not movies...

[sheilarough]

The studio & Baz Lurhman said that there was nothing wrong with Natalie Portman’s performance, she was the age of the character was originally written. But onscreen, she looked even younger, and it looked like Leo was molesting her. Claire Danes was 16, only 2 years older, but that 2 years can be a lot in the physical maturity of a girl

Definitely needed to hear that message at the end. Thank you

[josselinvalle]

I really love the final message ❤️ thank you

You could have also included John Candy getting booted from the role of Louis Tulley from Ghostbusters.
