One I had never heard before: "Mel Gibson - Auditioned to play Mozart in “Amadeus” and lost the part to Tom Hulce."One I wish I had never heard at all: "Ashton Kutcher - Turned down for the role of Batman in “Batman Begins,” and the role of Superman in “Superman Returns.” I can see where they might have considered Ashton as the naive, idealistic Clark Kent. It's kinda hard to picture him as the dark, brooding, obsessive Bruce Wayne.
Kenneth Branagh also was considered for Mozart. In fact, Gibson and Branagh, according to him, were both up for the lead in Woody Allen’s Celebrity; Branagh got that one.
