Speaking of PT Anderson, Joaquin Phoenix and Boogie Nights, from my book of totally useless trivia(l) information, originally PT wanted Leonardo DiCaprio to play the part of Dirk Diggler. DiCaprio had to turn the role down due to his commitment with the movie Titanic at the time.
The second actor PT went after was Phoenix, who also turned down the role due to his feelings that a movie about porn would hurt his image. DiCaprio recommended to PT to get Mark Wahlberg, which of course he did with Wahlberg recently saying that he now regrets taking the role due to his faith and what he would tell his children.
