5 million-dollar mistakes by movie stars..Sean Connery turned down role of Gandalf in "LOTR" and lost $400 million. Imagine Will Smith as Neo in "The Matrix;" he declined the role. John Travolta was NOT the first choice for "Pulp Fiction's" Vincent Vega. Steve McQueen rejected lead roles in "Apocalypse Now;" "Sundance

I didn't know that. Although I love Keanu Reeves I bet Will Smith would have made a fabulous Matrix.

I don't like Keanu much, but I liked the Matrix. I might have liked it better with Will Smith as Neo. I didn't know Sean Connery turned down Gandalf. I rather like the guy they got to play the role and I don't think I would have liked Sean Connery in the role quite as well.

I can imagine Matt Damon in just about any role. He does good at comedy, he does good at serious, and he does good at action adventure. He can pretty much do it all and look good doing it.

I've just finished watching the LOTR trilogy.. I'm glad Sean Connery turned down the role, I just don't think it would have been the same.

It is a local movie in Telugu. One hero Pavan Kalyan who is at the peak of his career rejected a movie offer and another guy Ravi Teja grabbed it. The movie went on to be a block buster. 
This Ravi Teja went on to be a super star and the other one is now having bad days.
