15 Actors You Didn't Know Were Almost Cast In Tarantino Movies
From the lows of Adam Sandler to the highs of Daniel Day-Lewis...
Quentin Tarantino's movies consistently attract some of the most impressive and unique casts you're ever likely to see, because given the writer-director's incredible track record, who wouldn't want to work with him? Whether he's roping in the hottest new talent or reviving long-dead careers, he's a God-send for actors pretty much every time he steps up to bat. Because the majority of his movies require large ensemble casts, it's unsurprising that countless actors are initially linked to roles in his movies, but for one reason or another, it just doesn't work out. Perhaps QT finds someone better-suited for the role, or dreaded "scheduling conflicts" get in the way, or maybe even the actor, for some God-forsaken reason, actually turns the part down (likely to their later regret). Whatever the reason, these 15 actors very nearly starred in a movie either written or directed by the master filmmaker, but it just didn't quite come to fruition. This article is going to examine the role itself, why it didn't work out in the end, and whether, had said actor actually been cast, it would have functioned in the final film. From potential casting so perfect it's enough to make you reconsider the ultimate casting to picks that just sound absurd, here are 15 actors you didn't know were almost cast in Quentin Tarantino movies.
