Was Elvis Presley the original choice for “Death Wish” role?
Written by admin on August 4, 2011 – 9:15 pm -There are many classic movie roles that were originally intended for a different actor. Frank Sinatra was offered Dirty Harry, Tom Selleck was in the running for Indiana Jones and Mel Gibson turned down the chance to play the Terminator! One of the more unexpected examples came to light this week with evidence suggesting that Elvis Presley was the original choice for the lead role of Paul Kersey in the movie “Death Wish.” The role of course went to Charles Bronson, who Elvis had worked with a decade before in “Kid Galahad.”
