It seems that the actors cast in our favorite movies are perfect for the part, but they're often not the director's first choice. Most celebs have turned down more roles than they've taken, some with regrets but many with thanks to their lucky stars. See the next page to see the first star who turned down a memorable role. Actor Will Smith started as the MC of the hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, winning the first ever Grammy in the Rap category in 1988. Smith was nearing bankruptcy in 1990 when he was hired to star in the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which became a huge success. His movies include Independence Day (1996), Men in Black (1997), and Ali (2001). He was also offered the lead role in The Matrix (1999). Despite the film's phenomenal success, Smith later said that he didn't regret turning down the role because Keanu Reeves "was brilliant as Neo." Smith also originally passed on Men in Black, but his wife convinced him to reconsider.
