Val is infamous for turning down lots of good roles. Which of these that he turned down would you have liked to see him do?
Matrix (Neo and Morpheus)
Crimson Tide
Collateral
Outsiders
Ask the Dust
Bandits
Interview with the Vampire
Blue Velvet
Dune
Dirty Dancing
Johnny Neumonic
Point Break
Time to Kill
Personally, the Matrix breaks my heart. He would've made a great Morpheus. And it hurts more he did Red Planet instead. Collateral, Blue Velvet, Time to Kill, and Crimson Tide are also cringe worthy. -

Collateral he was only going to play the cop who Mark Ruffalo ended up playing, and who barely had any screen-time anyway.
He actually turned down Johnny Neumonic in favour of Batman Forever, and then Keanu Reeves turned down Heat to play Johnny, only for Val to replace him and film his scenes on productions breaks from BF. Smart move in that regard.
