And The Oscar Almost Went To ..

Imagine a movie parallel universe where:

• David Letterman is Ted Striker in Airplane?
• Sylvester Stallone is Han Solo?
• John Denver is the romanic lead in Officer and A Gentleman?
• OJ Simpson is the Terminator? (okay - that acutally did happen...)

• Will Smith turned down the role of Neo in the Matrix ... but says it turned out fine because "Keanu was great"

Here is a list of the top 25 big roles that almost went another way ...
