I was letting my mind wander, as it seems to enjoy doing that quite a bit, and I got hung up on the letter Q (long story), which led me to Quigley Down Under, and Tom Selleck. And then, a thought struck me.
We often discuss, debate, and postulate how things might be different for the Indy series had Selleck been cast as Indy, and if the sequels would have been made. But what about the other side of that coin? I mean, lets suppose that Tom Selleck's Indy, though different, led to approximately the same amount of success for the character and the actor. Would we Indy fans be debating with Star Wars fans about whether or not Harrison would've been a good Indy? Would Tom Selleck have become Jack Ryan and Rick Deckard?
To go a step even further, what if Harrison Ford had gone on to star in some of Selleck's more well known pictures? Imagine that version of High Road to China and Runaway. And how about Three Men and a Baby? That's one I would have enjoyed, I think. Can you picture HF in all those westerns, or as Rachel's boyfriend on Friends! :rolling: Would those have been better? Worse? As successful?
What do you guys and dolls think? Anything from Tom's filmography that you would like to have seen with Ford, or vice verse? Any role that you think would have been improved or destroyed by such a karmic flip?
