5 Awful Actors Who Were Almost Cast In Video Game Movies

1. Fabio - Vega (Street Fighter)

Fabio Avioneta We can see what the filmmakers were thinking. Fabio looks like Vega, he's a somewhat recognizable name - let's stick a Freddy Krueger claw on his hand. For those of you who don't know who Fabio is, you're right not to. He's an Italian male model, famous for appearing on the cover of many romance novels in a variety of douchey poses. He also was a cast member in the incredibly forgettable series Acapulco H.E.A.T. in which, he played a hotel-owner that couldn't speak without sounding like he's reading from a script. Well luckily for us, casting saw sense and gave the role to someone whose name we struggle to remember without looking up...Ah! World famous Jay Tavare, Inmate 346 in soon-to-be hit Human Centipede 3. Thanks IMDB! Fabio would get his in '99 when, while riding a rollercoaster, he was the victim of a mid-air collision with a goose... right to his gorgeous face. Okay, we know that has nothing to do with the entry but come on, aren't you glad you know that? That mental image has kept us happy for quite some time.
