Jeremy Sisto, who you may remember as the rich a-hole from Clueless, is still emotional about Titanic. He's not upset because Jack froze to death in the ocean; he's upset because he wasn't the one who froze to death in the ocean. 

The 40-year-old actor told HuffPost Live he auditioned for the role and read with Kate Winslet only to be beaten out by Leonardo DiCaprio. "It’s always fun to see a movie that you know really well and love with this alternate-universe person in there," he said. "So while I was a little embarrassed to like reveal one of my many failures in life, at the same time I couldn’t deprive Titanic lovers of seeing that alternate universe."

Yeah... we're not really seeing it. It's pretty much impossible to picture anyone other than yung Leo in the iconic role. But we can certainly understand how much of a bummer it must be to miss out on the biggest movie ever (until Avatar) and the subsequent years of dating models crowned by a maybe thing with Rihanna. That sounds like a pain you don't just let go of. 

Sisto added, "To be involved in something that had that kind of scope—anything James Cameron does has this huge scope to it. "He’s trying to push the limits on things. So I was just insanely inspired by it and a little heartbroken when the role didn’t come my way."
