Default Casting choices for original movies

Movie and TV parts

The original casting had there actors/actresses in mind


1) Jayne Mansfield- Ginger (Gilligan’s Island)
2) Ryan O’Neil as Archie Bunker (All in The Family)
3) Burt Reynolds as Randall Patrick Murphy (One Flew over The Cuckoo’s Nest)
4) Burt Reynolds or Warren Beaty – Michael Corleone (the Godfather)
5) Gene Hackman- Hannibal Lecter (Silence of The Lambs)
6) Tom Selleck- Indiana Jones
7) Bruce Willis in Ghost
8) Marlon Brando – Dirty Harry
9) Al Pacino- Rambo
10) Meg Ryan as Pretty Woman

1) Mansfield as Ginger would have been perfect but would Mary Ann still win the voting as who was better?
2) Ryan O’Neil as Archie Bunker??? Give me a break. I can’t see anyone playing a better Archie than Carrol O’Connor.
3) Burt Reynolds- Cuckoo’s Nest- Doesn’t work. Jack is weird and the part had his name all over it.
4) Burt Reynolds- The Mafia Godfather? No comment. Pacino was perfect for the part
5) Hackman as Cannibal Lecter would work very well
6) Tom Selleck instead of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones may work also.
7) Bruce Willis playing aside his wife (Demi) would have been interesting. But Swazey had his character nailed down perfectly
8) Marlon Brando as Dirty Harry. No way. Clint is the man
9) Al Pacino as Rambo? Not strong enough. At least Stalone had muscles.
10) Work well. I’d like to see her with the part. Always was a big fan of hers.
