Rachel McAdams And Lindsay Lohan – Mean Girls
In this hit movie of the early 2000s, Rachel McAdams played Regina George. Her character was the pretty clique leader that everyone wants to be. The actress did a fantastic job of bringing such a great character to life, but did you know that she originally tried out for the role of Cady? On the other hand, Lindsay Lohan originally wanted to be Regina George. As you can see, they ended up swapping roles! Waters says that they would have done well in the original roles, but the change was for the best.
Norman Reedus – The Walking Dead
In 2010, Norman Reedus got his hands on the pilot script of The Walking Dead. He had been keen to be a part of the project and tried out for Merle Dixon’s role. This part went to Michael Rooker instead. It was a good thing that Reedus left an impression on the casting directors, who created Daryl Nixon’s role all for him! The actor got a lot of creative control over the character as well.
