We’ve all crushed on someone at one point, only for it to go nowhere. Sometimes, the person we crushed on was not interested at all, and at other times, we couldn’t confess our feelings. Either way, liking someone but not being able to act on it is way more common than we think. And it doesn’t just happen to us, but to celebs as well.

We are all used to seeing many various actors starring in one movie: the main ones, the supporting ones, and actors of crowd scenes.

It involves putting together the work of many creative people and the results can be very surprising.

And we’re not talking about just the extras here... Actors like Andy García, Rachel Weisz, or Paul Rudd have been left completely out of films too.
