When it comes to landing a role in Hollywood, be it in film or television, sometimes the actors think that they are either better than what is being offered to them, or their schedules conflict and they have no choice but to decline a part. What we have found is a long list of famous names who turned down roles that would have made them an even bigger star than they are (or were). Call it destiny or luck, we couldn’t imagine these actors in the roles that they passed on anyway.

Sarah Michelle Gellar was approached for the role of Amber in the now cult classic film, Clueless. Amber, if you recall, is the role of the stuck up rich girl who is constantly trying to make fun of Cher.
Gellar turned down the role because of a scheduling problem with the soap she was on at the time, All My Children. The role of Amber went to actress, Elisa Donovan, who nailed the role expertly. See, everything happens for a reason!
