In today’s world, many performers are remembered for a single role that made them famous. This is especially true given a large number of blockbuster films on the horizon. Hollywood’s money-making machinery includes science fiction epics, space operas, and nostalgic reboots. When the term “franchise” is thrown into the mix, any actor who is fortunate enough to secure a role is set for life.
As big TV series fans, we’ll undoubtedly have our fantasy fan casts of our favorite actors. It’s one of the most rewarding things to see our favorite actors in incredible roles. They do, sometimes, come true. Here are six examples of dream fan casts that have taken place.
#1 Sean Bean as Ned Stark in Game of Thrones — When the program was first announced, there was a lot of speculation about who would portray Eddard Stark. Sean Bean, the star of Sharpe, was the most popular option. HBO would have noticed these and put him in a high-budget fantasy television series based on them.
Sean Bean revealed that he had to cheat his way through his famous Mordor meme speech in The Lord of the Rings.

#3 Tara Strong as Harley Quinn in Arrow – Tara appears in the Arrow series in a brief but memorable appearance. Tara Strong voiced Harley Quinn in Batman: The Animated TV Series (1992), where she was first introduced. She deserved more, but she was replaced with Margot Robbie.

#4 Robert Knepper as The Joker in Arrow – Knepper is the finest candidate for The Harlequinn Of Hate since he has the ability to depict the most frightening villain in many colors. This is due to the fact that numerous actors from the Prison Break TV series have been hired in the Arrowverse.

#6 Arrow stars Tom Welling as Superman. Everyone reminisced about how the performance concluded on such a positive tone. In the Superman costume, Tom Welling looks gorgeous. However, he only appeared for 10 seconds. We’re hungry for more! It’d be incredible to watch him as Superman.
