'Charlie Sheen was the first choice for the role of Billy Hoyle. '
LOL?
shareHe left after the first day of shooting, cause he kept spilling his drink during the game sequences.
========================================
Get outta here ya half-a-sissy 'for I give ya a slap.
Yeah, that's funny. I can't see that at all...not even 20 years ago.
Can he even dribble for 5 seconds. Lol.
He may or may not have been as good as Woody Harrelson, but I could still see him playing the character.
shareWoody Harrelson was perfect for this character since Billy is an extension of his aimable idiot-savant from "Cheers" and he was/is apparently a decent basketball player in reality. Sheen would have been a little too cynical and slick for the part, seeing as the character is supposed to appear rather slow and a bit of a hayseed. Sheen could have carried the part of well enough but he wouldn't have been as perfect as Harrelson.
