	Does this make sense? What about the layout?...I did alphabetized last names. Also, is there too much/too little time? Thanks

	dummo:	Apr 11th, 2011 at 16:41 GMT		0 points
	I think you'll find if you look into it a lot of these are incorrect. Not your fault just your source. A lot of these actors/ actresses were considered or auditioned for these roles but were ultimately rejected in favour of the actors/ actresses that were actually given the roles.

	@dummo: Thank you...I just changed the title to "offered/refused/dropped" plus I added the years to make it more manageable.

	For some reason it only seems to take Ocean's Eleven.

	strange, thanks...I re-entered it, and it should work now

	i really like this quiz. its a great idea.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 07:33 GMT		1 point
	I like it too. I think Robert Redford would be a better clue for The Graduate. He was actually offered the role and turned it down. Maybe the character and answer columns could be slightly wider?

	gloucester:	Apr 12th, 2011 at 08:29 GMT		6 points
	Thanks 'paultoes'&'debbiedoesnothin' That's cool about Redford, but I thought it was interesting that Ward was offered the part from the producer during his Batman&Robin days and he didn't want to "dilute" his identification as Robin. I tried to make the columns better

	Fun quiz...Love DiCaprio, but can't picture anyone but Bale as Bateman.

	Bandito99:	Apr 14th, 2011 at 19:14 GMT		6 points
	"I have to return some video tapes" Loved the style, setup and overall theme

	Mickey Rourke as Axel Foley? And thank goodness Sandra Bullock wasn't Trinity. Fun quiz.

	You might want to check your source on the Michael Madsen one. I remember Tarantino saying that he wrote the Vincent Vega role specifically for Travolta, and had to argue with Miramax to cast him (Miramax wanted Daniel Day-Lewis). Speaking of Travolta, he turned down Richard Gere's role in "Chicago". And you're missing perhaps the biggest career mistake in Hollywood history - Tom Selleck turning down the role of Indiana Jones!

	@greasytony...I rechecked some sources (I included one link) because I initially thought the same thing, but I found that Tarantino wrote the part for Madsen as "Vic Vega" from Reservoir Dogs, but he turned it down to be in Wyatt Earp. So the role turned into Vincent. This is a good article. http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2004/apr/18/features.magazine I had Selleck in my initial creation, but for some reason, I took it out...don't know why?? Seems like you are a fellow film buff :)

	@gloucester: This is a great quiz, too. Think how some of these films would have been different! Funny how Gwyneth Paltrow turns down Titanic, then wins an Oscar and a Best Picture for "Shakespeare In Love" the next year.

	Need to accept "48 Hours".

	got it...thanks shroudofsilence

	maaxwell:	May 16th, 2011 at 11:18 GMT		2 points
	Really liked the quiz. Just a heads-up that Phone Booth is a 2002 movie

	gloucester:	May 16th, 2011 at 13:30 GMT		3 points
	@maaxwell--many thanks for your attention to detail...fixed

	jodessa620:	May 29th, 2011 at 06:22 GMT		4 points
	Apparently some of these actors need to get new managers because turning down some of these roles really worked out well for them.

	smacmeister221:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 23:18 GMT		1 point
	good quiz, but in my opinion, it would have been better if you made us guess the actors who took the role. But still a very creative and fun quiz

	gloucester:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 21:28 GMT		2 points
	Just a heads up if "you," whomever you are, decide to "play" this quiz...Thank you for ranking 7 of my quizzes a "1" all in a matter of a few moments. Second time this has happened. You have made me quit for good - thank you again.
