Ever think “that actor would be good as so-and-so,” and it happened?

I remember seeing Michael Clark Duncan for the first time in “Armageddon.” During the one scene where he gets emotional, I couldn’t help but think: “if they turn ‘The Green Mile’ into a film, he would he good as John Coffey.”

Imagine my surprise when it came true. I didn’t really care for Tom Hanks as Boss Edgecombe, but Duncan as the emotional highlight as I hoped he would be.
