10 Times Actors Starred In A Movie But Had All Or Most Of Their Scenes Deleted
Imagine pouring your heart and soul into a role, only to find out later on that most of your part didn’t make it to the final version of the movie. These actors are examples of that. They starred in a movie but then had most of their scenes deleted. It’s nothing new for Hollywood producers to use names to promote their films, but in these cases, they just take it a little too far.
The anticipation for the actors to show up skyrocketed when the cast was announced only to plummet when the fans discovered that their favorite stars were barely in the movie at all. Some actors even have all their scenes deleted, which makes them look like they don’t even star in the movie in the first place. So let’s take a look at these unlucky folks and what scenes were cut.
Katherine was pretty chill with having her scenes deleted from one of the highest-grossing films of all time though. The actress said that she didn't want to be in the scene that stuck out "like a saw thumb" and only wanted what was best for the movie.
Kiki confirmed in an Instagram post that she and Ari'el Stachel's scenes were mostly cut from the movie. However, the actress had no hard feelings about this, only a little disappointment.
So they deleted all of Tobey’s scenes and reshoot with Rafe Spall instead.
However, the crew was afraid that a star as huge as Harrison would distract the audience from the narrative. His scenes were eventually cut from the movie.
What’s worse is that they call her back and shoot some scenes for the movie with her, only to delete those scenes too. The only scene that makes it to the final version is the sprinkler scene, which is the moment Michelle hates the most.
However, the casting director felt so guilty that she gave him the first run at the part in Harry Potter. He nailed the role of Cedric Diggory and started his way to becoming a famous actor since then.
On the contrary with these actors who have most or all of their scenes deleted from their movies, some actors get paid a ton of money for just a little bit of work. Their payments for only a few minutes of screen time are insane. We know that time is money but isn’t this a little too much?
