Now playing at the Alternate Universe Cineplex

Notstarring.com is a website that lists the parts that actors have turned down or were passed over for, cross-indexed by actor and film. It's hypnotic.

Here are 12 roles that John Cusack might have been in but, for whatever reason, wasn't.

I like watching Cusack a lot, although I think that, like Johnny Depp, he must drive his agent nuts sometimes. His gift for playing the earnest, slightly dark, over-thinking Every Guy is priceless.

So, out of the dozen parts he didn't take/get, here's the p3 ranking:

Our loss: 4 films

No loss: 8 films
