Jack Nicholson – ‘The Godfather’
Would you consider Michael Corleone one of the most beautifully casted roles in Hollywood history? Well, Al Pacino got the gig and Jack Nicholson ended up empty-handed. Nicholson already knew that The Godfather would be a big hit and that the role of Michael Corleone would be an iconic one. However, he firmly believed that Italians should play the roles written for Italians and he turned it down. Nicholson has had a fantastic career so there is actually no doubt he is one of those actors who does not regret turning down roles for too long. But, one cannot help but wonder, though, how he would have fared in the Godfather movies.
