Corrected entry: The role of Indiana Jones was initially offered to Tom Selleck, who couldn't do it due to commitment to "Magnum P.I.". Harrison Ford was their second choice.

Correction: This is only partially true. The statement about Tom Selleck is accurate, but Harrison Ford was Steven Spielberg's first choice and Tom Selleck his second. George Lucas didn't want to cast Harrison Ford again due to him having been in American Graffiti and being involved in the Star Wars trilogy. After Selleck became unavailable Lucas agreed to cast Ford.
