Thomas Jane – ‘Mad Men’
Thomas Jane is most well-known for his work in The Punisher but did you know that the macho action star was once considered for the role of Don Draper in Mad Men? However, Jane at that time was said to be turning down TV roles. While the role of Draper went on to another talented actor, we cannot help but wonder how Jane would have been received in the position.

Jack Nicholson – ‘The Godfather’
Would you consider Michael Corleone one of the most beautifully casted roles in Hollywood history? Well, Al Pacino got the gig and Jack Nicholson ended up empty-handed. Nicholson already knew that The Godfather would be a big hit and that the role of Michael Corleone would be an iconic one. However, he firmly believed that Italians should play the roles written for Italians and he turned it down. Nicholson has had a fantastic career so there is actually no doubt he is one of those actors who does not regret turning down roles for too long. But, one cannot help but wonder, though, how he would have fared in the Godfather movies.
