Christopher Walken was considered for the role of Han Solo in Star Wars: A New Hope before Harrison Ford was cast. Walken himself later admitted he didn't think he performed well in the audition, and with over 500 other actors vying for the role, he was far from the top contender. Despite this, Walken expressed no regret, saying he was glad Ford ultimately landed the role, as he felt he wouldn't have been suited for it.
