10 Famous Actors Who Missed Out On Their Perfect Role

3. Nathan Fillion - Nathan Drake

Nathan Fillion Nathan Drake It's not just that they've got the same name - Nathan Fillion really does have the swagger, confidence, good looks and mannerisms required to play the titular character from Naughty Dog's massively popular gaming franchise! And they do kind of definitely look alike, which doesn't hurt matters, does it? Just look at his brilliant performance in the likes of TV's Firefly, where he pretty much assumes the role of Nathan Drake, except that his name is Malcolm Reynolds. Uncharted, of course, is one of those series that is practically begging to be made into a large scale blockbuster, what with all the Indiana Jones-styled plot elements and narrative twists and turns. So how, you're wondering, given that the movie is still apparently working its way into production, has Nathan Fillion missed out on the role he was born to play? Simply because he said there are no plans to involve him in the movie, and it's going ahead without him. Boo!
