When Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained was first announced, many thought that Will Smith was a shoe-in for the title role. However, Smith has revealed in a recent interview that he turned down the part because it wasn't big enough.
"Django wasn't the lead, so it was like, I need to be the lead. The other character was the lead!" Smith told EW.com, referring to Christoph Waltz's Dr. King Schultz. But before he left the project, Smith said he implored Tarantino to give Django a more central role in the film. "I was like, 'No, Quentin, please, I need to kill the bad guy!'"
Interestingly, Waltz's Schultz was considered the supporting role during Oscar season, while Jamie Foxx's Django was promoted as the lead.
In the end, though, Smith said he still enjoyed the film. "I thought it was brilliant. Just not for me."
