According to IMDb, Heath Ledger had considered the role of Kar in Paul Hunter's Bulletproof Monk  but turned it down to star in Ned Kelly.

From IMDb's bio:  ...Then came his very brief role in Paws (1997). Paws was a film which existed solely to cash in on guitar prodigy Nathan Cavaleri's brief moment of fame, where he was the hottest thing in Australia. Heath played a student in the film, involved in a stage production of a Shakespeare play, in which he played "Oberon". A very brief role, this did nothing other than give him a small paycheck, but nothing to advance his career.
