| 33 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: For ''Film/{{Get Carter|1971}}'', Hendry was supposed to play Jack Carter, but he was deemed unreliable due to his alcoholism and ill-health, and ended up playing the film's villain. He resented Creator/MichaelCaine for replacing him, which visibly adds to their characters' animosity. |
