It’s hard to imagine what our childhoods would have been like without some of the amazing TV sitcoms that we grew up watching every day after school. Whether it was the hilarious setting, the awesome costumes, or the perfect casting that made us fall in love, these shows have stayed with us long after they eventually went off the air. But in some cases, those pitch perfect casts of people almost didn’t come together the way that we know them today. Some of the most iconic TV characters of all time were actually not supposed to be played by the actors who eventually won the role! In some cases, the original casting choices might have made sense to the producers at the time, but in the long run it is so much better that they didn’t work out. Whether a famous actor was offered a role but turned it down, which allowed an unknown to step into the spotlight, or someone asked to read for a different character and wound up surprising everyone, these casting “mistakes” definitely worked out for the best! Almost all of the most famous characters out there almost went to different people! From Chandler Bing and Monica on Friends, to George Costanza from Seinfeld, and even Will from Will and Grace! More recent sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother could have been totally different too! Check out the video for all of the amazing ways that our favourite characters might have gone to someone else and changed history forever!
