You’ll be surprised at some of the names you’ll see! Did you know that Tom Selleck was originally considered to play Indiana Jones? Tom Selleck was the star of Magnum PI – one of the biggest TV shows of the 80s.

As such, he turned down the role of the archaeologist Indiana Jones as he was committed to his TV career. He’s had a great career with many great roles, but he’s also missed out on some great film work.

But he’s not the only one! Another one of Harrison Ford's great characters was Han Solo in the Star Wars films. But before Harrison Ford secured the role, Christopher Walken was asked to audition for the role. While he no doubt gave a great audition, Harrison Ford managed to win George Lucas over!

One probably can’t imagine anyone but Tom Hanks playing Forrest Gump. But did you know that John Travolta was once considered for the role? He was facing a setback in his career and was looking for a role that would change his fate. What was the role that he chose over Forrest Gump?

One of the most iconic American actors of all time was Burt Reynolds. There’s no shortage of great roles that he played. But there’s also no shortage of great roles that he turned down!

He’s not the only one, of course. Jack Nicholson also had many great roles throughout his career. But there are many great roles that he turned down, including some that launched the careers of other actors.

And what about Sir Sean Connery? He became an icon of cinema through James Bond. But were there any other iconic roles that he turned down?

Let’s learn about some actors who turned down massive roles – now they regret it!
