Timothy Olyphant was offered the role of Vin Diesel in the Fast & Furious franchise; Do you regret having refused it?

There are some actors who have become synonyms for long -standing roles they play, both on television and in the movies. For Vin Diesel, the first film that most people think about when they feel their name is generally one of the fast and furious franchise films.

He starred in the role of Dom Toretto in eight films, which is quite rare for any actor. He has lived that character since 2001 and the films have been among the greatest successes of his career, although he has many other franchises to his assets.

However, the role was almost that of someone else, and since Hollywood tends to mix through the actors who want and who is available, makes sense. But the first choice is a kind of surprising.

Timothy Olyphant He had appeared in several successful films in the 90s, and was a nascent star with an acting program engaged when he was asked to act Fasting and furious.

He refused it to take other projects and continued to act in many television and cinematographic roles, but never regretted having not taken the part that continued to produce paychecks after the paycheck for diesel?

When he was only asked by the Hollywood journalist, Olyphant replied:

“The trap here is that it is very difficult to answer this question without feeling like I am offensive someone. So, if I start saying:” No, I never came to mind “or” no, I have never seen those films, “I start to seem … Ugh, let’s say I never said it. I love those films. I am enthusiastic that they worked for all involved.”

Well, it was very diplomatic from him. It seems that he is indicating not feeling as if he had lost a lot, but insists that he “loves” those films. I am sure it is happy for the result and success that the actors involved have had.

It has had its success, and it is actually a little strange to think of anyone except diesel who plays the part. It certainly seems to have worked everything for the best.
