Al Pacino as Han Solo
Movie: Star Wars (1977)
Played by: Harrison Ford
No, I’m not gonna call it “A New Hope.” You know what I mean: the first Star Wars movie. At one time, producers dangled the Han Solo role in front of Pacino. “It was mine for the taking, but I didn’t understand the script,” he said in a Telegraph interview. In that same interview, Pacino revealed he turned down roles for “Apocalypse Now” and “Pretty Woman” too. That’s how you know you’re a big deal. You leave more money on the table that you take and you still have more money than everyone else.
