Steven Spielberg Reveals Which Mega-Star Turned Down Jurassic Park

Summary: Steven Spielberg recently shared a big Hollywood secret: Harrison Ford turned down the lead role of Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park. Spielberg admitted he was "crushed" by the choice, but the part happily went to Sam Neill.

Interestingly, this wasn't their first casting mix-up. Years earlier, Tom Selleck was actually the first choice to play Indiana Jones! Selleck had to pass because of his TV contract, allowing Ford to step in and become a global superstar. Spielberg now says these wild Hollywood trades worked out perfectly for everyone.
