We all have our favorite legendary movies and series. But can you imagine if the main role would have been given to another actor? Imagine if Thor were played by someone else, and not Chris Hemsworth, or if Monica Geller from Friends looked nothing like Courteney Cox, or if the famous Harry Potter would’ve been a blond boy... We’ll never know what this would have been like, so we can only assume how it could be if the casting crew had made another decision.
Here at Bright Side we love getting to know the details of the moviemaking process, including casting sessions. If you do too, keep on scrolling!
1. Courteney Cox originally auditioned for the role of Rachel Greene on Friends.
