Almost Bundy
Sometimes it’s difficult to get past the idea that someone else was deemed to play the legendary part of Al Bundy. However, just like what happens in a usual production, stage or television, it’s essential to think about who the possible options are prior to making a decision on who you cast. Ed O’Neill as Al Bundy was absolutely perfect that it’s difficult to imagine another actor had ever been intended to be the hilarious father on Married…With Children, but the role had been offered originally to the comedian Sam Kinison.
Gary
Anyone who claims to be a big fan of the Bundys knows that Al was a salesman working in the shoe store Gary’s Shoes And Accessories For Today’s Woman, which, to put it mildly, rarely saw much business. Despite the fact that Al was employed there for a rather long time, he only discovers later (while the series moves forward) that Gary, whom the shop is named after, is not a man but is actually a woman.
