Bill Murray couldn't have been miscasted. His voice for Garfield is just pure perfection!
Myself In Cops (1989-2020;2021-) That Show was so big during the '90s miss that Decade
Sofia Coppala in The Godfather 3 after Madonna and Winona Ryder dropped out and Rebecca Schaeffer was originally supposed to play Mary before she got murdered by that man. I also thought of that one actor who survived the Cambodian genocide who starred in a movie about said genocide.
Margot Robbie 🩰
"The Wolf of Wall Street"
Bill Murray as Garfield. Have a happy friday afternoon, Kirsten. Take care and God bless you, and greetings from Colombia to you as well.
The boy who played Russell in Up. Apparently, his brother was trying out for the part, but they decided to let him try, too.
Fernando Rey is an amazing actor. He knows how to perform in both Spanish and French movies.
Talk about right place, right time! Matthew was perfect for Wooderson, despite him being a supporting character, and it eventually paved the way for his road to stardom.
Whenever no one can pronounce my name I always tell them you know Lana like Lana Turner the actress..😂 only people in my age group I'm 60 know who I'm talking about😂😂😂😂😂
Matt Dillon was just walking around town when an agent saw him and put him in a movie

What about Rob Brown he got Finding Forrester as a teenager right off the streets of Brooklyn while never acting
That’s crazy!
I don’t remember for sure, but I think David Boreanaz was accidentally casted or bumped into by a movie movie manger or whatever. While he was walk his dog.
Was Danny Trejo in the Spy Kids movies?
What about Sarah Michelle Gellar? I’m surprised you didn’t mention her
Harrison Ford was really the perfect choice to play Han Solo
Alright,Alright,Alright……
Im pretty sure Mel Gibson was cast in Mad Max by accident. He was dropping his girlfriend off on set who was an extra in the movie and they asked him to audition. The rest is history.
john statham is one of the worst actor ever, he should’ve stayed an accident
i think it's the best thing i've ever seen, you make it better every time🦁
