10 Great Movie Screen Tests For Famous Actors Who Lost Out

By Quinn Beswick /

9. Jeremy Sisto - Titanic

Honestly, this one hurts. Jeremy Sisto continually works and has had some wonderful roles (Clueless, Suicide Kings, Six Feet Under), but I can't imagine how much missing out on this role stings. The saddest part about it is that he does a good job. Sure, there are times he comes off a little dark and creepy, but that is bound to happen when one is talking to an angel. Kate Winslet appears to be glowing, while Jeremy seems ready to take her to the bedroom as soon as possible. If Jeremy Sisto had gotten the beloved role of Jack Dawson, Titanic would have had a more dangerous feel to it. What if this Jack took Rose to the party in the 3rd class quarters? What if this Jack was the one blushing while sketching the nude Rose? What if this Jack was the one trembling after having sex with Rose? It just doesn't quite come off as believable. Truthfully, Kate and Jeremy don't work as a couple and, unfortunately for Jeremy, James Cameron decided to go with the sweet Kate Winslet... and some guy named Leonardo.
