Major Roles Rejected by Famous Actors
Al Pacino – ‘Star Wars’
When you try to picture the legendary Han Solo as any other actor, there’s just nobody else who fits into that role as seamlessly as Harrison Ford. It was almost never meant to be though.
In a 2013 Q&A with Al Pacino, the acclaimed actor revealed that the Han Solo role was essentially handed to him on a silver platter, but that Pacino “didn’t understand the script” and decided to turn it down. In the same discussion, Pacino revealed he turned down roles in Apocalypse Now (Marlon Brando) and Pretty Woman (Richard Gere).
