If things had gone as planned, “They call it a Royale with cheese” would sound entirely different in our heads than it does today. Recently leaked casting sheets reveal that Quentin Tarantino had originally envisioned very different casting choices for many of the roles in his cult classic Pulp Fiction.

While the auteur nabbed a few of his top choices, including Tim Roth as Pumpkin and Amanda Plummer as Honey Bunny, some of the other major characters were intended for other people. Playing Vincent may have revitalized John Travolta’s career, but the part was actually written for Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs star Michael Madsen. Travolta is noted as a “strong, strong, strong second choice,” but if he couldn’t do it, offers would have gone out to Alec Baldwin, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, and maybe even Denzel Washington. Dennis Quaid’s name is also on the list, though on the low end of things.
