Denzel Washington has had many prolific roles over his long and illustrious film career. Still, the actor has also had many parts that he either missed out on out of his own volition or because the casting producers turned him down. Of course, that has not slowed him down at all, as seen in his expansive filmography and numerous award wins. Few actors are on the same level as Washington, which essentially allows him to handpick and create the projects he wants to be a part of.
11 Leave The World Behind Close Washington was initially slated to portray G.H. Scott in Netflix's apocalyptic thriller Leave the World Behind directed by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail. The role eventually went to Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali after Washington stepped away from the project. Had Washington stayed on for the ambitious Netflix project, it would have marked a 30-year onscreen reunion with Julia Roberts, who last appeared in a movie with Washington in 1993's The Pelican Brief.
Washington received the script for Michael Clayton and was impressed, but he ultimately turned down the part because it was Tony Gilroy's directorial debut. He was nervous about taking that leap. But Washington later admitted that he made a mistake in passing on Michael Clayton because of how successful it was.
6 48 Hrs. Close Before Eddie Murphy was cast to play Reggie Hammond in the 1982 buddy cop film 48 Hrs., the casting producers considered Denzel Washington for the part. They eventually settled on Murphy, so it sounds like they decided not to go with Washington instead of Washington turning down the role. The movie revolved around a cop and a convict who surprisingly joined forces to catch two criminals, and they only had 48 hours to do so.
