Actors Who Got Famous Playing Roles That They Hated

Harrison Ford as Rick in “Blade Runner”

Famously, there are two cuts of the original “Blade Runner.” One has a voiceover that over explains everything happening. The other— the director’s cut— does not. The voiceover version is widely regarded as inferior, even by Harrison Ford himself. “I was compelled by contract to do this voice-over, which I did in five or six different forms, all of them found wanting,” he said. “I had never read this material before, and I had no chance to participate in it, so I simply read it. I was very, very unhappy with their choices and with the quality of the material.”
