When it comes to iconic roles in film, we can’t imagine anyone else playing them but the actor we know now. Can you imagine Michael Corleone and Vito Corleone being played by any actors other than Al Pacino and Marlon Brando? The Godfather would have been a very different movie.

But today we know that studio executives weren’t keen on having Al Pacino as Michael Corleone, and other great actors like Laurence Olivier and Burt Lancaster were considered for the role of Vito Corleone.

It’s no secret that Hollywood is a super competitive industry where even A-list actors have to scrap it out for big parts. Here are 17 roles in Hollywood everyone went after.
