Paul Shaffer – ‘Seinfeld’
You may remember Paul Shaffer as the bandleader of David Letterman in his talk show. But, Shaffer almost had a totally different career. Shaffer was offered the part of George by Jerry Seinfeld himself, even before the show’s debut in 1989. He was even told that there is no need for an audition and that all he had to do was to call Seinfeld back. However, Shaffer never did, saying that he was ‘too busy’ at the time. This part would have made Shaffer leave the Late Night with David Letterman show and reinvigorate his career in acting. Talk about missed opportunities!
