4. Mickey Rooney turned down the role of Archie
Mickey Rooney was initially offered the role of Archie but he turned it down. Norman Lear was pitching him the character as a “a bigot who uses words like ‘spade.’” Mickey interrupted him and said: “Norm, they’re going to kill you, shoot you dead in the streets.” Through skilled writing and superb acting, Caroll O’Connor managed to deliver these offensive lines without being shot! Also considered for the iconic role were Tom Bosley, Jack Warden, Gavin MacLeod and Jackie Gleason.
