Jean-Claude Van Damme – Predator

Long before he became a household name and Hollywood star in his own right, Jean-Claude Van Damme was simply trying to make his way into movies. One of his first gigs was to be the titular Predator in John McTiernan's action horror classic, Predator. Early on into the film's production, it soon became apparent that the original design for the Predator simply wasn't going to work for McTiernan's vision. Both the costume and Van Damme's size didn't fit the film's needs — it was decided a larger actor was necessary to bring to life the new design of the creature. As a result Van Damme was released from the film and was replaced by Kevin Peter Hall.
