Dirty Harry.
The title role was originally intended for Frank Sinatra who had to pull out because of a hand injury. It was then offered to John Wayne who declined the role and later said he refused it because he 'didn't want Sinatra's leftovers'. The script then passed to Paul Newman, who also turned it down but said it would be a perfect vehicle for Clint Eastwood.

Imagine what it would have been like, Frank Sinatra, "so the question you gotta be asking yerself is: do I feel lucky today? Well do ya, punk?"
Ugh, Gag me with a spoon!
Amazing how truly great moments can happen absolutely by accident!

Harry Callahan of the "Dirty Harry" movies. I can't imagine anyone else playing Inspector Callahan.
