Actors Who Didn't Have To Audition For Iconic Roles
video description
Regardless what she says, JK Rowling uses black people like me and the LBGT as nothing more as a way of making easy money and a shield to deflect criticism for her terrible writing by claiming her work is progressive and people criticising her are racist, homophobic or Trump supporting nazis.

Alan Rickman should NEVER had to audition for any role after Die Hard. Seriously.
Rickman STOLE that movie from EVERYONE. The Lead Actor Bruce Willis, The Director John McTiernan, The Writers Steven E. de Souza, Jeb Stuart and ALL of his co-stars. So much so that had Cyber Criminal Mastermind Hans Gruber was not killed off, Rickman could have Hit movie after Hit movie series starring as Gruber. Not unlike Liam Neeson turning his one off into his TAKEN series or Arnold Schwarzenegger turning his (to die at the end) T-800 into the TERMINATOR series.

That's actually hugely ironic (with Chris Evans as Cpt America) since Evans has stated he was deeply conflicted with taking the role. Evans prefers acting in smaller, indie movies because- to paraphrase, Instead of spending 12 hours to shoot 1 scene you go through most of the movie in that time. You actually feel like you're making a movie. He also knew that taking the role would tie him up for years to come (and therefore limit the amount of films he could appear in. So really, we should be bowing in thanks to Evans for taking the role.

Hmm, Chris Evans was crossed off early on for the role of Captain America by Kevin Feige, but came back to him in a state of desperation as he puts it. So not sure about that claim about Chris Evans, although we certainly feel he's the right one for the role. Maybe he should be in the Actors who were initially rejected for iconic roles but went on to get the part. Include the other two Chris in the MCU, Chris Pratt (who James Gunn initially rejected) and Chris Hemsworth (who was rejected because he was sick during his first audition.

Francis Matthews, who is known in Gerry Anderson circles as the voice of the original Captain Scarlet, didn't have to audition for the role. Instead, it was a chance encounter on Eric and Ernie where he (Francis Matthews) was doing an impression of Cary Grant. Gerry Anderson happened to see this, then phoned Francis Matthews and asked him if he was available to voice Captain Scarlet using his impression of Cary Grant

I remember all the news stories about Captain Americas casting - so many names and Chris Evans was no where to be seen. His name popped up a few days before he was cast and I remember some people being hesitant - they were clearly people who hadnt seen Sunshine. Having seen that, I knew Captain America was in safe hands with Chris Evans.

JJ didn't choose Adam. Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm and producer of tfa, thought Adam was the only actor that could make Kylo Ren justice. She told this to JJ, but as he did know his work very well, he set a meeting with Adam, saw in him what KK had seen, and offered him the role.

It wasn't just Alan Rickman, none of the adults in Harry Potter auditioned. They went grocery shopping among the British who's who. As a side note, Rickman was WAY to old for the part: Snape was in his 30s. It would have been awesome if they'd had Rickman mentor someone like Adam Driver in the role.

Harrison Ford didn't audition to play Han Solo; he read lines with actors as a stand-in and ended up being able to explain the story and motivations so well that Lucas asked him to keep on it and then offered him the part which he initially didn't really want.
