Star Actors Who Refused To Return for Reboots

Crispin Glover

This situation gets a little wonky. Crispin Glover did not want to return to his role in Back to the Future Part II. Instead of respecting his wishes and moving on, the producers went on and did something very sneaky that resulted in them getting sued. 

Glover played George McFly, the main character Marty's father. Glover didn't want to return to the role because of moral issues that he had with the story. Instead of just recasting George, they hired someone as a "body double" and used molds that were taken from Glover's face for prosthetics to make a "mask" of Glover to use on the actor. He sued them for violating his rights and privacy and settled for $760k.
