[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 264943, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY][FONT=georgia]I'm sitting at work today fairly bored and I decided to do some more digging into Marlon Brando's movie career. Being a popular star that he was during his heyday, he was naturally offered a lot of film roles. Likewise, being temperamental, he turned down many that he was offered. I felt like compiling a list of movies Brando ultimately decided not to make during his film career. I've found a relatively long list, so I'm going to try and make this a simple as possible. Key: Movie / Year/ Intended Role / Who Replaced Him SUNSET BOULEVARD / 1950 / Joe Gillis / William Holden HIGH NOON / 1952 / Will Kane / Gary Cooper THE EGYPTIAN / 1954 / Sinuhe / Edmund Purdom THE RED AND THE BLACK / 1954 / Julien Sorel / Gerard Philipe A STAR IS BORN / 1954 / Norman Lester / James Mason EAST OF EDEN / 1955 / Cal Trask / James Dean THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM / 1955 / Frankie Machine / Frank Sinatra BABY DOLL / 1956 / Archie Lee Meighan / Karl Malden THE CONQUEROR / 1956 / Genghis Kahn / John Wayne GIANT / 1956 / Jett Rink / James Dean A FACE IN THE CROWD / 1957 / Larry Rhodes / Andy Griffith THE DEFIANT ONES / 1958 / John Jackson / Tony Curtis BEN-HUR / 1959 / Ben-Hur / Charlton Heston JUDGMENT AT NUREMBURG / 1961 / Hans Rolfe / Maximilian Schell LAWRENCE OF ARABIA / 1962 / T.E.
