6. He Wasn’t the First Choice to Play McMurphy
One of Nicholson’s most beloved roles is his turn as mental patient Randle P. McMurphy in the Milos Forman directed adaptation of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. He only got the part after Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, Burt Reynolds and James Caan passed. Throughout shooting, Forman allowed Nicholson to improvise, especially during the group therapy scenes. The film earned Nicholson his first Oscar for Best Actor.
