There was some Boogie Nights casting what if's that haven't been posted yet.
-Sean Penn and John Turturro(holy fuck) were considered for the role of Rahad Jackson.
-Julia Ormond and Joey Richardson were also contenders for the role of Amber Waves.
-Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Ethan Hawke, Vincent Gallo were in contention for the role of Dirk Diggler. Every prominent leading male from this age cohort was fighting for the iconic character role.
This is one movie where even if the casting becomes so indistinct with the actors that it's hard to picture anyone else I tried to envision the possibilities of alt-universe where these actors got the roles. What do our resident fans here think of the potential casting of the film? If the original actors hadn't reprised their role which actor would you choose to replace them in the year 1997?
