Fishburnes career is completely different if he doesn't turn down the role of Jules in pulp fiction(that was specifically written for him)

That also directly led to him missing out on Die Hard 3

He rebounded nicely with the Matrix but things could've been so different for him

I’ve never seen die hard 3 so I can’t speak on that. When I heard he turned down Jules though…

:huh2:

Idk though cause Sam is perfect in that role

They went into it in more detail on Bill Simmons rewatchables podcast


Apparently Fishburne had just hired new management and agents and they advised him not to take that role because he was trying to become a leading man and with Travolta, Willis ect he wouldn't get the recognition.......he just hired these people and was paying then a lot of money so he listened to them and turned the role down



He was supposed to be in Die Hard 3 but was asking for an absurd amount of money and essentially had the producers by the balls.......the producers decided to go watch the screening of Pulp Fiction and if they liked the Sam Jackson guy they would offer him the role instead.......if not they would just cough up the money that Fishburne demanded and well, the rest of history



The significance of Die Hard 3 is it became the highest grossing movie of 1995 beating out the likes of Toy Story and Appolo 13...
