- Ernest Borgnine, The Wild Bunch, 1968.
- Otis Young, The Last Detail, 1973. While the Robert Towne script was awaiting a pause in Jack Nicholson's schedule, Columbia's Peter Guber suggested re-tooling it with Brown, Burt Reynolds and... David Cassidy!
- Mr T, Rocky III, 1982. Mr. T (Laurence Tero) said he beat “1,500 black guys - even Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans” to the flamboyant Clubber Lang, including real heavyweights Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Earnie Shavers. The role won him a TV series, The A Team, Nancy Reagan as First Fan, but by 1993, he was reduced to Freaked as... a bearded lady!
