The Short Cop

However, DeVito and Schwarzenegger were pitted against each other in Hollywood in what might be the most baffling example of potential casting ever.

DeVito was, at one point, strongly considered for the lead role of John Kimble in Kindergarten Cop. Which is… Just real f@#king weird considering that Schwarzenegger ultimately got the part. He wasn’t the only actor approached for the role, other actors included Jack Nicholson, Patrick Swayze, and (as always happens when talking about late 80s/early 90s casting) Bill Murray.
