Washington: Hollywood star John Travolta recently opened up about his acting career and admitted that he missed out on a handful of large movie roles back in the day. According to Fox News, the 67-year-old actor, during Friday's episode of 'Hart to Heart' with comedian Kevin Hart, revealed he had been passed over for other actors including Tom Hanks, Richard Gere and Jack Nicholson. "The role in the Tom Hanks movie Splash was written for me. But then we wouldn't have Tom Hanks, so let's have Tom Hanks!" Travolta told Hart during the episode. Travolta did point out that the competition wasn't bad considering there were only four actors for directors to choose from at the time.
