The Big Picture Nowadays it’s not all that surprising when a musician wants to try their hand at acting. We’ve seen it with so many different stars, to varying degrees of success. As it turns out Garth Brooks tried his hand at an acting career at one point. The country singer is well known for his exceptional music career, and with countless sold-out shows and too many number-one hits to count, that success is well deserved.
Sanderson, however, was determined to help Brooks create a flourishing acting career and found him some great roles. One of which was in the highly acclaimed, Steven Spielberg-directed, Saving Private Ryan. She had convinced writer Frank Darabont to write a role specifically for Brooks as a sniper in the film, but Brooks bafflingly turned it down. The reason? He wanted to be the star and didn’t want to share the limelight with the rest of the cast.
According to Sanderson’s claims, when Brooks turned down the role he explained that he wanted to be the star of the movie, but felt that the true star of the movie was the tornado. So he turned down, a possible career launch of a role, because he didn’t want to share the spotlight with a tornado. A CGI tornado, mind you.
