Seemingly everybody has seen Schindler's List, and seemingly every one of those people would agree that Steven Spielberg's 1993 movie is a truly stunning masterpiece. However, the titular role of Oskar Schindler was yet another gig that Harrison Ford chose to turn down, with the part famously going to Liam Neeson. The role of Schindler himself was that of Nazi Party member who decides to do his best to save the lives of his Jewish workforce, and it was a gig that further cemented Neeson as a serious talent to watch. Whereas quite often a role is turned down due to an actor not being particularly keen on the film or part in question, with Schindler's List it was a case that Ford didn't want his stardom, name power and popularity to take away from the hard message that was at the core of Spielberg's movie. Ford was likely right in his decision, and whilst Neeson was just starting to get some form of reputation, he was nowhere near as famous as the Hollywood powerhouse that was Harrison Ford.
