14. Natalie Merchant
Another fish that wiggled away was Natalie Merchant. At the time, Merchant was quite a success with her song, “Torn.” Merchant had no acting credits at the time, but Shandling wanted her to appear. She was unable to oblige his request, perhaps because she was too busy making it big as a recording artist. She has since added three acting credits to her IMDB page, not to mention recorded music on 29 soundtracks. Merchant still has fans, but her white-hot career of the ’90s is a little cooler these days.
