the role of will kane was turned down by...
john wayne
gregory peck
charlton heston
monty cliff
marlon brando
Don't drop just one shoe. What were the reasons in each case?
shareJohn Wayne---- Wouldn't have liked the whole premise of the move, surprised he was Offered the role
Gregory Peck---- on the other hand probably liked the premise,,, Sooo if offered must have been busy
He did come out with 2 movies
Charleton Heston --- early in his career to be "offered" anything The Greatist show on Earth came out the same year which did a lot for his Career and might have been signed to it -- No time
Monty Cliff????? Who thinks Monty Cliff and Western in the same thought??? Doubt he was offered
Marlon Brando ---- Did Viva Zapata the same year, here again who asked 1st and think about it -- I don't think he liked Westerns He has only done 4
Yep, sounds about right.
sharePeck starred in The Gunfighter, which came out in 1950, and thought it was the definitive western so he passed on High Noon.
