Actors who passed on movie roles

An interesting little read - http://www.toptenz.net/10-actors-who-passed-on-movie-roles.php

Will Smith as Neo (Matrix)? Sean Connery as Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)? Burt Reynolds as Han Solo (Star Wars)?

What might have been! :)

Burt probably turned it down because they wouldn't let Dom DeLuise play Chewie. A fat, balding Chewie...
With a wheezy laugh, no less.
