Actors you get when you can't afford the actors you want...
 

Me and RdTv had a convo (that's the cool way to abbreviate conversation) about this once. Who are some that you can think of? We had like a huge list, so I'll start it off with on. Andy Garcia. He's the guy you get when you can't afford to get Al Pacino.

...Daniel Baldwin instead of Ben Kingsley for the mob boss in "Cleaver."

Michael Caine when you can't get any old British actor
Danny Glover when you can't get Morgran Freeman
Tom Hanks when you can't get Steven Spielberg to stop casting him

richard grieco when you can't get johnny depp

but wait, andy garcia & pacino play together in godfather 3. who's supposed to be who? :D

ok, one that popped in my mind:
gary busey when you can't afford nick nolte to play the disgraced alkie.



i think you can find a lot of those actors in "made for tv" movies...

Colin Farrel when you can't get Colin Farrel.

Paul Walker when you can't get Keanu Reeves. Not that you would ever want Keanu Reeves.

Bernie Mac/Cedric the Entertainer when you can't get Eddie Murphy
(in the 80s) Eddie Murphy when you can't/won't get Richard Pryor

how do you mean....!?!?!?!?

haha this thread is funny, one that comes to mind all the time is

Dolph Lundgren as the poor mans Arnie

Jackie Chan when you can't get Bruce Lee (obviously this is necessary because he's dead, but nevertheless)

Awesome movie!
