Casting What-Ifs

James Caan, Al Pacino and Jon Voight for Ted; Kate Jackson, Faye Dunaway and Jane Fonda for Joanna; Gail Strickland as Margaret

  • Hoffman initially did not want the role, and James Caan reportedly declined over fears the film would flop.
  • Al Pacino reportedly turned it down as not right for him; seeing him in the role would have been welcome.
  • Jon Voight reportedly declined because he was already in The Champ, another divorced-parent story whose ending is called one of the saddest.
  • Hoffman changed his mind after meeting Jaffe and Benton in a London hotel.
  • By her own claim, Kate Jackson was offered Joanna but could not take it because of Charlie's Angels; the story is treated as only mostly true.
  • Faye Dunaway was reportedly offered the role and did The Champ instead; Jane Fonda, earlier said to have been talked about for the role, is mentioned again; Ali MacGraw is named only with the judgment that she would have butchered it, without saying she was considered.
  • Streep was originally meant for the JoBeth Williams role before being cast as Joanna.
  • Gail Strickland was cast as Margaret but reportedly fired after Hoffman taunted her on set, and Jane Alexander replaced her.
  • Earlier, a Kate Jackson version of Joanna is dismissed as unable to reach Streep's level, with casting what-ifs promised for later.

No necessary recast; Jane Fonda and early Al Pacino considered

  • The cast is largely left intact, perhaps except Burke; Fonda’s actress-as-actress casting is considered too self-conscious.
  • Early Godfather/Serpico-era Pacino as the priest is considered intriguing and prompts impressions.
  • The panel distinguishes early Pacino from the later persona and calls the proposed performance fascinating.

Picking Nits

Band audition, adult sibling at home, Jeep reaction, George’s income, and transformed Lorraine

Approx. transcript time · 01:15:50Read transcript
  • The Pinheads are questioned for being dismissed after only five seconds
  • Marty is criticized for treating the group like a backing band without practicing or rehearsing
  • Performing The Heart of Rock and Roll is proposed as a stronger audition choice
  • Adult Dave McFly still living at home after the timeline improves is questioned
  • Marty’s reaction to receiving an expensive Jeep is judged too restrained
  • George’s job and ability to afford the Jeep are unclear
  • Lea Thompson should have been shown in a Jane Fonda aerobics outfit to emphasize how much better the new timeline is
