24 Characters Actors Wish They'd Never Played

Acting looks easy and fun. Aside from the insanely lucky set of circumstances it takes to get cast in a role, it looks like it's just a bunch of playing make believe and reciting words handed to you by a writer. Then you take a swim in your lavish Scrooge McDuck pool filled with glimmering coins. All in all, it seems like a pretty carefree existence.

Even so, for certain actors, there is no such thing as "lost love" just before they ultimately get to relocate on from a movie role, keeping aside how big achievement it was.

Acting appears to be simple and enjoyable. However, apart from the ridiculously lucky set of conditions required to be cast in such a role, it appears to be just a bunch of pretending and repeating words ready to hand to you from the writer. Overall, it remains a relatively carefree existence.

Megan Fox had also been dismissed from her job as Mikaela Banes in the Transformers franchise after openly calling director Michael Bay a "nightmare to work for." John Boyega also said Disney didn't know what to do about his hero, Finn, and many others managed to play by people of color in Star Wars.

But, as it did turn out, occasionally, actors have deep regrets about a role they took, even if it was the role that made them successful. As an example...
