8 Famous Actors Revealed The Ultimate Dream Roles They’ve Never Gotten To Play

Many believe that a highest-paid actor can score any role they want. However, it’s not true. Plenty of actors who own a great number of fans, have to wait for their ultimate dream roles and may not never land their desired roles of a lifetime.

No matter what the reason is, we always believe that there are no limits to career ambitions and as long as they’re setting new goals for themselves, they’ll always be on the rise.
