10 Actors Who Managed To Predict Their Future Iconic Movie Roles
Even the most accomplished actors are always dying to get another big fantasy part on their résumés.
Some are still holding on to the hope that their childhood dream will come to fruition, some are eager to challenge themselves like never before, and other performers have long been captivated by the idea of taking on a certain real-world persona.
Fate is a funny thing. You can’t quite put your finger on it, but every now and then, something happens that is just meant to be. There’s a certain element of fate in movie casting, too. So many elements — from an actor’s look to his or her skill set — come into play. While it’s never easy to predict the future, some actors get a feeling of which roles they’ll end up playing.
Sometimes, all it takes to secure a dream role is just giving the universe a little nudge. A few of these actors even tagged the studios and cast members they wanted to work on Twitter with in order to increase their chances of being seen. Every now and then, it really does work. The Twitter post leads to a conversation with the powers that be, and the rest is history.
Here are 10 actors who manifested high-profile movie and TV roles years before they actually booked the jobs.
