Different stars, different outcomes?

I played hooky from work today...not so much because I didn't have anything to do at work, or because I felt too blue to stare at the office wall today...as the fact that I had a backlog of shows on my DVR. How pathetic is that? I went to the trouble of semi-feigning illness in order to watch a load of Magnum PI episodes.
Around episode four, I remembered that Tom Selleck was originally cast as Indiana Jones. How different would the movie franchise have been if the character had been played by someone a bit more...um...beefy? What would have happened to Harrison Ford's career if Han Solo had been his only big role at that date?
And Pierce Brosnan. What if he had played James Bond two movies sooner?
