OT Movie Roles That Almost Went to Other Actors

[KingSpeed]

Jake Gyllenhaal beat me out for the leads in October Sky (originally named Rocket Boys) and The Day After Tomorrow, the two closest times I had a shot at a lead role in a feature film.

I liked James Belushi (John's brother) and at the time I thought he would have made a great Peter Venkman.

I thought he was great in Salvador. Course it wasn't mostly him acting like a jerk and yelling a lot. That's pretty much his reputation.
