We’re constantly hearing about how so-and-so auditioned for a role and got it, or how whats-their-name turned down a chance to play a character who became a pop culture institution, but it’s rare to hear about failed auditions.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Which is why this somewhat erroneously titled video by Looper is pretty cool- it includes footage from failed auditions including Seth Rogen’s audition to play Dwight on The Office and young Scarlett Johansson’s audition to play Judy Shepherd in Jumanji.
It also has a few auditions that would be considered oddities more than failures, like the time Tom Selleck tried out for the role of Indiana Jones, a role he would have gotten had he not been stuck in paradise filming Magnum, p.i.
