Top 20 Actors That Turned Down Incredibly Massive Roles

12. Henry Winkler – Danny Zuko

This one is pretty obvious. When it came to casting Danny Zuko in Grease, there was no one better to take on the role than “The Fonz.” Henry Winkler turned down the role because he was concerned about being typecast. He since regrets turning down the role because he was already typecast, and taking on the role of Danny would not have made things any worse. It would have been interesting to see “The Fonz” in John Travolta’s iconic role.
