The actor in your avatar most likely wouldn't have made it big if Charles Bronson hadn't turned down Sergio Leone's offer to play the 'man with no name' in Leone's spaghetti westerns. Bronson told Sergio "I'm not going to ruin my career appearing in spaghetti westerns." A few years later Bronson starred in Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. I guess Charlie had a change of heart.
