Who would or should have been cast in a particular part in a film or TV show but missed out?
I thought of this after mentioning Tom Bombadil on another thread.
Here is Tom:

Can you think of any missed casting opportunities?

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?

I read that Michael Reeves wanted Donald Pleasance to play Matthew Hopkins in Witchfinder General, but the film's US backers insisted on Vincent Price. Much as I like Price as an actor, I can't help thinking that Pleasance would have made a creepier Hopkins--no-one did creepy better than DP.
