My Top 10 Favorite Acting Recasts of All-Time

        In  Hollywood there a lot of films that get made and some of them are reboots, sequels and remakes. One of things that can happen in those types of films is that one of the main actors gets recast due to either contract disagreements or scheduling conflicts to where the studio has to hire someone new to help build on the continuity of the previous films or to bring some energy to a different version of the film. So with that being said I'm going to bring you my top 10 favorite acting recasts of all-time with the the actors who were replaced, who they were replaced by and what film that replaced the actor in. So without further ado...
