I think Al was considered to play Willard for Apocalypse Now before Martin Sheen got the part.

Pacino turned Coppola down: "I know what this is going to be like. You're going to be up there in a helicopter telling me what to do, and I'm gonna be down there in a swamp for five months."

And Martin Sheen auditioned for the role on Michael Corleone in 'The Godfather' (1972).
