Page three and I have to bring this actress up???? I’m disappointed in all of you. While she was on TV for party of 5 I know what you did last summer made this woman popular (along with a few others) in movies.

Sylvester Stalone in Rocky.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Waaaaaaay outta line!

 

[Gonzo]

Sylvester Stalone in Rocky.

And he had to fight tooth and nail to get that role. He wrote the screenplay but the studio wanted the likes of Ryan O'Neal, Burt Reynolds, Robert Redford, James Caan to play the role. Stallone held firm and got the part. Hard to imagine how bad that movie would've been with Ryan O'Neal as Rocky.

James Caan would have kicked ass in the part, but Burt Reynolds??? That would have been awful.

The first time I noticed Ewan McGregor was in Trainspotting. What a break out role that was for him.

I think I read they also wanted to consider John Travolta.

This too:

This show should have NEVER been cancelled after 1 season.
