There's Second Choice Casting but beware of sailing101 who demands a TRS check first.
In ''The Wizard of Oz", at some point, the producers had hoped to hire Eddie Cantor as the Scarecrow, Ed Wynn or W.C. Fields as the Wizard, the producers were negotiating to trade Clark Gable's and Jean Harlow's contracts in exchange for Shirley Temple, only to have the deal fall apart after Harlow's death in 1937; and Buddy Ebsen was originally hired for the Tin Man, but had to withdraw after an allergic reaction to his makeup, which contained aluminum dust, and the producers found Jack Haley to fill in as the Tin Man. Is there some trope that covers those who were nearly cast for a movie, but didn't make the audition?
