but to be honest i dont see him in one of those role´s. i dont think one of these could fit him.no one else could have played tony montana then al pacino.
I have a few roles that come to my mind i´d like to see him in. i think the roles he rejected for lord of the rings and matrix would have been cool.
Also he would have made a good figure in the batman movies as comissioner gordon(gary oldman)
I think the role denzel washington in safe house had was cool.
in the comedy stepbrothers next to will ferrel would have been awesome
and i think drive would have been a good movie all three roles of bryan cranston, and albert brooks or ron perlman were good for him.

Cool Roxy! I don't know much about all the movies were offered to Nic. But I think Nic in lethal weapon would be cool only I think he couldn't have played it better than Mel Gibson. And scarface though I don't know that movie sounds cool only because the name scarface is so cool.
The Matric, lord of the rings and batrman indeed must have been cool!

Let me correct that, he could have played it better perhaps or as good but maybe he wouldn't have fit the character so well. Though, I think in some looks thye are a little alike for the role. What if Nic played it and we would be talking about Mel Gibson now? Maybe we would say the same ^^

I've often thought what if Nic played Sean Archer in Face/Off and John Travolta was Caster Troy before they changed faces.. I try not to think about it too much though as my brain doesn't seem to like working out how that would go
These top 5 are pretty incredible, I always did think Nic would be amazing in The Shining, me and so many friends just knew he'd be amazing in that film. All the others? Yes, I see that too, but I don't think anyone could have played those characters better... DDL in There Will Be Blood was just one of the most engrossing experiences I've ever had with a film. Scarface, is just a classic. In every regard.
Though, thinking about the films that Nic was offered but turned down, he could have been so much better in.
Matrix: I like Reeves but Nic is a much better actor, for one, Nic can emote so Nicolas would have been a great Neo
Lord of The Rings: Nicolas would have kicked ass as Aragorn, it was really made for him
Willy Wonka(2005): yeah, Depp was pretty terrible in that film, so Nic could have done it.
Green Hornet: haven't seen it but I'm sure Nic would have been better!
Funny, people say he doesn't turn down roles. HAH.
