10) Jack Nicholson - The Godfather

Jack Nicholson was offered the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather but turned it down because it was not exactly what he needed then, or so it was not his area of interest. Such was the choice to refuse this legendary role that it goes down as one of Hollywood's most infamous refusals, and The Godfather turned into one of the greatest films ever made; Pacino's performance is still one of his finest.
