Captain Jack Sparrow in "The Pirates of the Caribbean"
The sudden departure of Dick Cook as head of Disney Studios shocked a lot of people — among them, Johnny Depp, who credits Cook for getting him onboard the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise before there was even a script for the first movie (a practically unheard-of feat in Hollywood). The executive shuffle at the Mouse House left Depp with a self-proclaimed "crack in [his] enthusiasm," making some wonder if Captain Jack Sparrow will set sail after "Pirates" film #4.
We were relieved to hear that if Depp doesn't return, neither will Captain Jack. Instead, Sparrow will be replaced by a new sea captain. For a moment we thought producers might pull a "Bewitched" move and just swap out one actor for another in the same role. That's happened more often than you'd think in Hollywood, with varying degrees of success. Here are some of Tinseltown's most notorious attempts at moving on with replacement actors.

I think they were both on drugs and are now sober. The is a train wreck. I think the child has been through enough trama. She needs a stable home. "

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Nobody did James Bond better than Roger Moore?? How much did he pay you to say that???!!! He was too old, too infirm, unable to deliver even the simplest of punchlines... and guilty of the worst ever match-up of male/female 'intimacy' when they expected us to believe he and Grace Jones could ever have relations without him being either crushed, swallowed whole or have his pacemaker give out!!!!

The Pirates of the Carribean trilogy lost its charm after the first movie. The other two are ultra boring. No need to make any more.

I knew that was a fake "Jan Brady" when I saw a photo in TV Guide, but my father convinced me that it was the real one and she looked different because she wasn't wearing her glasses!
And my 6-year-old self believed it, LOL!

Actually the "Partridge Family" was a complete replacement for "The Cowsill's." After negotiations broke down with them, TV just got rid of the dad, put in a manager and remade the family with actors.

The James Bond franchise has nothing on Doctor Who in terms of replacement actors.

I couldn't imagine Jack Sparrow being played by anyone else!! Now, a new character could be written with a name like ... "George Aardvark" and be from Australia! *giggle* Perhaps, Sparrow and Aardvark could meet and have a knock-down-drag-out about whose the better pirate ... different than the fight that Sparrow and the black-smith had.
