Line 20:
** [[Jeff Bridges]], too. Not only was he a fan of the comics, he also wanted an excuse to shave his head bald.
** The same is also true of [[Jack Nicholson]] as [[The Joker]] in ''[[Batman (film)|Batman]]''.
** When it was announced that a ''[[Fantastic Four (Comic Book)|Fantastic Four]]'' film was in the works, [[Michael Chiklis]] was the first man in line to audition. His anecdote was that, when casting was announced, he walked up to Stan Lee and introduced himself as Ben Grimm.
** When the character of [[Nick Fury]] was being reimagined for the ''[[Ultimate Marvel]]'' line, [[Mark Millar]] and Bryan Hitch approached [[Samuel L. Jackson]] for likeness rights ([[Batman Gambit|knowing full well that Jackson was an avid comic book fan]]). Jackson's only conditions were that he get original prints of a few of the pages and that he get first crack at playing Nick Fury in a movie... which he did.
* [[Samuel L. Jackson]] was in ''[[Snakes on a Plane]]'' just so he could act in a film called "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Snakes On A Plane]]". He even threatened to quit when they tried to rename the film.
