Iconic Roles Almost Played By Another Actor

Michael Keaton really lucked out when he dropped out of the hit drama Lost. He was cast to play the part of Jack Shepard but called it quits when the writers of the show told him that Shepard would only be seen in the pilot episode. They brought Matthew Fox in to replace Keaton and ended up expanding his role through the entirety of the show. While Keaton went on to star in massive blockbusters and receive Oscar nominations, Fox’s public DUI and assault allegations essentially ended his career in 2012.
