Fast Times- how it could have been


This info all comes from the trivia section. All either auditioned for, or were considered for the role.

Tom Hanks as Brad Hamilton.
Ellen Barkin as Stacy Hamilton.
Melanie Griffith as Linda.
Christopher Reeve as Jeff Spicoli.
Directed by David Lynch.

I can see that except Christopher Reeve. That doesn't fit at all. But then again look at Sean Penn.

reply

There's no effing way that trivia is true. Reeve was 30 years old and already a big star by then.

reply

Reeves was and w/d be Superman 4 the rest of his life. The rest, sure. They're all the same age.

reply

A lot of these are made up, through the years, gotta be careful.. Every movie has had others that were considered for the parts .. For example. I heard every actress on the planet got offered the role of Kelly mcgillis in top gun and all turned it down...

reply

i did not hear that about kelly mcgillis. i dont think i would ever head it otherwise coming to imdb message board. randomly find true and untrue facts about films. im goin to miss these boards.

reply

I was with you until Reeve. However, I have to say that if the only Sean Penn performances I was familiar with were the many grim, humorless characters he's played subsequent to "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", I wouldn't be able to imagine him as Spicoli, either.
