Spacey once turned down for Darin role

Kevin Spacey (pictured) was originally rejected for the role of Bobby Darin, because he wasn't famous enough.

The Oscar-winner, a huge Darin fan and lookalike, pitched himself for the part in the 1980s, when Martin Scorsese was scheduled to put Darin's life on the big screen - but the then-unknown Spacey was snubbed and the project was never made.
