- Michael Ian Black, Ed, TV, 2000-2004. Ottawa’s busiest actor was chosen for Phil Stubbs Stubbs in the NBC sitcom produced by David Letterman’s Worldwide Pants – and then, somehow, lost it to Chicago’s MIB. So it decidedly blows…
- Jon Favreau, Daredevil, 2002. Director Mark Steven Johnson wanted Brett Cullen as the father of our hero Ben Affleck’s Matt Murdock – and indeed, Logue as his law partner, Franklin ‘Foggy’ Nelson. They proved unavailable but played almost the exact same roles in Johnson’s 2005 Ghost Rider – namely the father of Nicolas Cage’s hero Johnny Blaze – and his best friend, Mack. By 2021, the two guys had played 254 screen roles between them.
- Heath Ledger, Lords of Dogtown, 2004. Logue was producer David Fincher’s initial choice for the real-life Skip Engholm, head of the surfer/skateboarders at LA’s Venice Beach in the 70s. But Skip wanted Ledger to play him. And, by yiminy, he got him!
