Re: Crazy Facts about Actors, Actresses, and Directors

For Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, director Frank Capra originally wanted to cast Tom Hanks as the lead, but agreed to go with Jimmy Stewart instead upon being informed that Hanks was not scheduled to be spawned until 1956, which would significantly delay production.

Additionally, there is a very sneaky undercurrent of this in many of Sidney Lumet's pictures whether it's Network or his various cop/court dramas.
