Who was NOT considered for the role of Josh Baskin in Big that eventually went to Tom Hanks? Was it Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Robin Williams, or were they ALL considered?
The first new player to comment on the website with the correct answer wins a free drink at their next iQ Trivia show.
Surely De Niro and Ford were not considered. Williams I can believe.
No, DeNiro wanted too much money, and Travolta had had a bunch of box office bombs so they were passed over. As for Williams, playing a 12 year old in the body of an adult is basically his whole thing.
They actually considered the Raging Taxi Driver Bull to play a kid in a toy shop?
Would have been a different film…
Yes that would have been oddly intense.
