33 Actors Who Rejected Iconic Roles

Funny man Jim Carrey almost played the dead-serious role of Edward Scissorhands. We can’t imagine it at all.

Cher rejected the role of Morticia in the movie adaptation of the gothic TV show. The part went to Angelica Huston. Cher was also considered for the part of the Grand High Witch in “The Witches,” which also went to Huston. Cher has turned down other roles including Thelma in “Thelma and Louise,” and Barbara Rose in “War of the Roses”.

Willis was the first to be offered the role of Sam in the 1990 mega-hit “Ghost,” and the opportunity to play alongside his then-wife Demi Moore. However, the part went to Patrick Swayze, who was excellent in the role.
