Back when Elle Fanning was just a toddler she auditioned to be on Friends and play one of Phoebe’s triplets. Since you do not remember her on the show, then you know she did not get the part. Even though she could barely talk, she was very devastated about it.
A few years later when she was about 5, her sister, Dakota, landed a part on the show. When that episode came on, she told James Corden on The Late Late Show that she boycotted it. There was no way she was going to watch her sister on her dream show. I wonder if that still happens in the Fanning household?
Talking about missed opportunities, Rob Lowe, who was also on the CBS talk show last night, says his wife is more devastated that he turned Grey’s Anatomy to star in Dr. Vegas, a show that filmed a whole 10 episodes. Would he make the same choice all over again? Yes, he would. Not to be the lead in that dud, but had he said yes, then he never would have done Parks & Recreation. Also had he taken the role, Dempsey would not have gone from nerd to McDreamy thanks to the medical soap opera.
