Chris Pratt says he auditioned for almost every Marvel Studios role before finally landing Star-Lord. Jimmy Kimmel : “Didn’t you audition for Captain America?” Chris Pratt : “Oh man, yeah. I auditioned for them all.” “I auditioned for Thor, but not even to be Thor. I was auditioning for one of the sidekick guys.” “I didn’t even get a callback.” “The casting director told me, ‘Wow, you really made a big choice there,’ which is basically code for, ‘Dial back the acting.’” “It got to the point where I thought I was never going to audition for Marvel again.” “Anything they made that needed a guy who remotely looked like me, I auditioned for.” “Sometimes I’d send in a tape and they’d say, ‘No, we don’t need to see him.’” “Other times I’d audition in person, and they’d make it clear they never wanted to see me again.” “I started thinking I just didn’t have that ‘it’ factor they were looking for.” Jimmy Kimmel : “Turned out you did.” Chris Pratt : “Turned out I was Star-Lord.”

Originally, Jack Nicholson turned down his role in the movie, but after a meeting with Martin Scorsese, William Monahan, and Leonardo DiCaprio, he was finally convinced to play the role of Frank Costello. The main reason he joined the production was because he had previously done a few comedies, and wanted to play a villain again, and he considered the character of Costello to be the ultimate incarnation of evil. Martin Scorsese really wanted Al Pacino for the role of Costello, because he had never worked with Pacino before, but he turned it down. Jack Nicholson was Scorsese's second choice. The Departed (2006).

Happy 71st birthday, J.K. Simmons! J.K.

Joe Pesci originally auditioned for Max, but Sergio Leone convinced him that he wouldn't be quite right for the role. As a favor to Pesci's friend Robert De Niro, Leone told Pesci that he could pick whichever of the available roles he wanted as his own instead. He chose the part of Frankie, which was considerably larger in the original script than it is in the finished movie

Initially, Toshirô Mifune auditioned for the role of Mister Miyagi in "The Karate Kid" (1984). According to director John G. Avildsen in the DVD commentary, Mifune was great in the audition, but Avildsen felt that his version of Miyagi was too serious and too much like the samurai warriors he played in Akira Kurosawa movies. Producer Jerry Weintraub didn't want Pat Morita to audition for Miyagi because he didn't think a comedian would be taken seriously in the role. Morita wasn't even allowed to audition at first, but Weintraub eventually relented after he was unable to find anybody who he was satisfied with. (Source: IMDb)

Chris Pratt thought he was ruining his career filming dance scene in Guardians of the Galaxy. He had to improvise: “This set is costing $20,000 a minute. I might be blowing this. I don’t know how to dance.” He asked for choreographer. Gunn said, “Just dance.” So he went for it.

Did you know Chris Evans turned down multiple Marvel return pitches after Avengers: Endgame? Chris Evans revealed that Marvel approached him several times about returning as Steve Rogers, including a pitch for Nomad. While he loved many of the ideas, none of them felt like the right continuation for the character. That changed when he heard the rumour that Robert Downey Jr. was in talks with Marvel, and suddenly, returning felt right. Chris shared this during an Entertainment Weekly interview at San Diego Comic Con with the Avengers: Doomsday cast.

When Aaron Paul walked in to audition for Jesse Pinkman in 2007, he had a severe handicap: He was too handsome. AMC executives thought he looked too much like someone from “Beverly Hills 90210” and was too “good-looking” for the gritty drug drama. Everyone rejected him. EVERYONE. Except one person. Vince Gilligan liked Aaron Paul so much that he insisted on him getting the role in spite of the fact that none of the other decision-makers wanted him. Gilligan literally fought the entire network for this casting choice. Jesse was originally supposed to die in Season 1, but after seeing the chemistry between Paul and Bryan Cranston, Vince Gilligan changed his mind and rewrote the entire series to keep Jesse alive.

Comedian Ahmed Ahmed says Marvel offered him $50,000 to play “Terr0rist Number 4” in Iron Man (2008) after years of being typecast in stereotypical Arab and Muslim roles. Ahmed revealed he had even told his agent he no longer wanted to play such characters. But his agent called with an opportunity to appear alongside Robert Downey Jr. in the first Iron Man. When Ahmed asked what role he was auditioning for, she replied: “Terr0rist Number 4.” “I just decided to read my lines over the top just to like make fun of it, like I didn't want the part.” His lines included, “Sit down! You will obey...” “They were like, ‘That's brilliant. That's exactly what we're looking for. Can you do it again, but this time give me more of that Muslim [growls]?’” Ironically, he says his exaggerated audition landed him the role. “We shot that movie in 2007, it came out in 2008. To this day, I've made almost like a quarter of a million dollars in residual checks.” “So I guess the moral of the story is, you know, sometimes... terr0rism pays off.”

An abandoned dog was wandering the streets, his fur covered in dirt, his body painfully thin, and his eyes filled with sadness. A kind woman found him and decided to rescue him. She reached out her hand toward him. But he didn’t understand that she was trying to help. To him, a hand reaching toward him could just as easily mean danger. She kept talking to him softly, trying to let him know that things were different this time. “I’m trying to help you.” Then she gave him his first bath. As the water washed away the dirt, his thin body and protruding bones became visible. He was still scared. But from that moment on, his life slowly began to change. During those first few days, he often looked for quiet, hidden places to hide. Under a chair, in a corner of the room, anywhere he felt safe. No one tried to pull him out. They simply stayed nearby and patiently waited for him to decide when he was ready to come out. Little by little, he started peeking out from his hiding spots. He would come out, but still kept his distance and wouldn’t let anyone touch him. Maybe he was trying to figure out whether these people were really different from everyone he had known before. On the fourth day, he appeared at the bedroom door. He was still scared, but this time, instead of turning away, he slowly walked closer. It was a very small step, but it meant so much. He was learning how to trust again. Not long after that, he climbed onto the bed for the first time. It was probably a place he had never imagined he would one day be allowed to sleep. He curled up and fell asleep. For the first time, he could rest somewhere without having to stay on guard. Then he started barking. It no longer sounded like the bark of a frightened dog. It was more like a dog who had just realized he was finally free to use his voice. His face began to change, too. There was a look of happiness in his eyes because, at last, this little dog had found a family who loved him.

This painting shows the most heartbreaking reunion in all of literature. To understand it, you have to know who the dog is... His name is Argos, and he belongs to Ulysses, the Greek hero also known as Odysseus. Before Ulysses sailed away to fight in the Trojan War, he had raised Argos from a puppy, a fast and beautiful hunting dog. Then the war called, and Ulysses left. He would not come home for twenty years. When Ulysses finally set foot on his own island again, he came in disguise, dressed as a beggar, so that no one would know him. His house was full of men trying to steal his wife and his kingdom. To survive, he had to remain a stranger in his own home. No one recognized him. Not his loyal servants. Not the people who had known him all his life. But lying in the dirt by the gate, old and forgotten, covered in ticks, too weak to stand, was a dog. Argos had waited twenty years. And the moment he saw him, he knew. He was the only one. Nearly blind, half dead, he lifted his head and pricked up his ears, and he wagged his tail for the master he had never stopped waiting for. Ulysses saw him. And because he was in disguise, surrounded by enemies, he could not run to him, could not kneel down, could not say his name. He could only look at his old friend and, turning his face away so no one would see, let a single tear fall. And then, in Homer's own words, "the dark shadow of death closed down on Argos' eyes, the instant he had seen Odysseus, twenty years away." He had held on to life for one reason only: he was waiting to see him come home. And the moment he did, he could finally let go... It is such a beautiful painting, and the look on that dog's face is so universal, so instantly understood by anyone who has ever loved and waited, that it is enough to bring a grown man to tears.

I thought he was just waiting for his owner to come back from the bathroom. But after waiting for over an hour and seeing that empty water bowl, I realized no one was coming back for him. He was shaking so hard when I first walked up, but he just needed to know he wasn't alone anymore. I couldn't just leave him tied to a tree in the dark and now is with us
