Lindsay Lohan – The Hangover

It is easy to assume that The Hangover resulted from bored Hollywood actors, but a lot of thought has actually gone into it. After all, it did spawn two sequels for a reason. While they were casting for the stripper that Stu marries in the first movie, they first approached Lindsay Lohan for the role. She declined the part as she was only 20 years old and preferred to work on a romcom called Labor Pains. This was how Heather Graham landed the part and appeared in the third movie. We have already covered a lot of movie roles that actors and actresses should have accepted. Let us now move on to actors who tried out for a role but got cast in a different part!

Iwan Rheon – Game Of Thrones

This actor had done such a great job of bringing his character to life that he immediately became among the most hated people in the cast. Iwan Rheon played Ramsay Bolton but initially tried out for the role of Jon Snow! As we all know, the lead character ultimately went to Kit Harrington instead. Despite this, Rheon impressed the casting directors and received an invitation to audition for the sadistic villain instead. He said, “I think they made the right choice. It would’ve been a very different Jon Snow if I played him.”
